Connecticut Witch Trial sites is a historic site in Hartford, Connecticut. America’s first witch execution—Alse Young, 1647, decades before Salem. It sits in the archive under witch history and dark history. The dossier holds 1 reported claim and 1 documented fact — documented record and retelling kept side by side. The site is open to visitors.

Hartford is the first — the 'Alice Young' that's the colonies' first, the '1647' that's the year's mark. The 'party blamed' is the sparked — the 'Christmas' that's the gathering's sin, the 'Greensmiths' that's the hanged's pair. The 'elm stood' is the lost — the 'hanging tree' that's the 'til '30's state, the 'storm took' that's the end's form.
The 'three times' is the tried — the 'Seager' that's the woman's name, the 'reprieved' that's the third's luck. The 'unknown spot' is the honest — the 'don't know' that's the gallows' truth, the 'Meeting House' that's the guessed's site. Hartford is the preceded — the '40 years' that's the Salem's gap, the 'panic first' that's the timeline's order.
The file keeps Hartford: the first hanging, the blamed party, the lost elm, and the thrice tried.
Connecticut witch sites are the archive's file — the trials that came four decades before Salem.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Connecticut witch sites are the archive's file — the panic Salem overshadowed.
A green keeps its brick — the file's suggestion being that Hartford's hold is the first: the '1647' that's the year's mark, the 'Alice' that's the victim's name, and the 'lost' that's the gallows' truth.

FILED CLAIMS — 1 on record, reported not verified
· [Media reported] historical legend: The trials are documented history—the lore is minimal beside the fact. The reports at Connecticut Witch Trial sites are the site's second history — unofficial, unverified, and stubbornly retold. Coverage gave the claim its audience; proof remains another matter. The tale is the site's other archive — oral, embroidered, and outlasting the documents.
