‘Murder at Harvard’ — a special Halloween season screening at Gore Place
Gore Place will offer a special Halloween season screening of the PBS documentary “Murder at Harvard,” about the 1849 trial of Harvard professor John White Webster, who was accused of murdering Dr. George Parkman, a member of one of Boston’s most prominent families.
Webster’s trial drew thousands of spectators and filled newspaper columns. Join us for a spine-tingling evening of history and mystery as we revisit this fascinating and notorious case.
