June 10, 1692: Bridget Bishop was hanged at Gallows Hill near Salem, Massachusetts, the first victim of the Salem Witch Trials. She may have been accused because she stood to inherit from her deceased husband, and she was said to own a tavern in her home where shuffleboard was played and minors were served.
