Connecticut Witch Trial Exoneration Project

Committed to honoring the victims of the Connecticut Witch Trials, the Connecticut Witch Trial Exoneration Project and others are working to establish a monument and planning to host a Day of Remembrance. Connecticut House Joint Resolution 34, RESOLUTION CONCERNING CERTAIN WITCHCRAFT CONVICTIONS IN COLONIAL CONNECTICUT, was adopted by the House of Representatives on May 10, 2023 by a vote of 121 to 30 and was then adopted by the Senate by a margin of 33 to 1 on May 25, 2023. This bipartisan resolution absolved the innocent victims of the witch trials and apologized to their descendants.
