MA-009 The Church in Salem Village

Marker text: THE CHURCH IN SALEM VILLAGE

To this church, rent by the witchcraft frenzy, came in 1697 the Reverend Joseph Green, aged twenty-two. He induced the mischief makers to confess, reconciled the factions, established the first public school, and became noted for his skill at hunting game and his generous hospitality.
