Can I Get You a Drink: True Stories of Female Poisoners

When: March 12th

What Time: 6:30pm

Where: Amesbury Public Library, Amesbury, MA — In-Person

Join writer and researcher, Erin E. Moulton, as we explore five female poisoners from American history, the drinks that did them in, and the trials that followed their deadly deeds.

We’ll travel from a case of contaminated gin in 1890s Maine to a small barn dance with a horrifying twist in 1920s California. We’ll chase down prohibition era rumrunners and investigate one of New England’s most famous serial killers.

Which drink was the deadliest? What motivation did each woman have? And were they all truly guilty of the crime?

Amesbury is a tavern town. This familiar structure at 230 Main Street once served up food and drink for locals including town selectmen post meetings. At a major intersection and the thoroughfare of the Ferry district to the mill village this spot saw lots of traffic.

Plans are in motion for this historic property. At the Amesbury Library we recently partnered with the Historical Commission to update the research inventory for this property with the Massachusetts Historical Commission. Check out the updated info from the link in our bio.

Or come in person to the meeting this Thursday September 5, 2024 at 7pm at 68 Elm Street (Costello Transportation Center) for the public hearing regarding the demolition permit pulled by the property owner.

Here are a few inside views of this once tavern and inn turned Quaker home, turned Veterinarians office. Thankfully it still retains many of its original features!!
