Long before the Salem Witch Trials began in 1692, colonial New York experienced its own hysteria. In 1658, Elizabeth "Goody" Garlick of East Hampton, Long Island was accused of witchcraft following the tragic death of Elizabeth Gardner Howell. Facing bizarre accusations from neighbors and a deathy penalty, Garlick was sent to Connecticut for trial. Governor John Winthrop Jr. presided over the case — one that marked a pivotal moment where scientific reasoning began to challenge superstitions of the time.

"Drive By History" follows the investigations of host Ken Magos as he stops at roadside history markers in New Jersey and New York and explores what happened and why it still matters. With the help of esteemed historians, celebrated authors and chefs, and nationally recognized experts, "Drive By History" connects the dots, revealing how local events form our shared American narrative.

This "Drive By History" is part of The Story of New York, The WNET Group's collection exploring the stories and history that built New York City and the extraordinary people who continue to inspire the future of this world hub.
