It’s been a minute! I’m still here, but I’ve been stretching so many new legs, with my promotion to Research Coordinator at the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum (), to aid in the launch of our new Living Descendants of the Boston Tea Party genealogical program and database ahead of the 250th anniversary of the event in 2023, to stage managing a production of Julius Caesar for (pictured here, come see us in Salem at 6:30pm on 7/30 and 7/31 in Charlotte Forten Park!). But of course, I still have more to give you all, with some exciting lectures coming up in September and October. I have some unreleased episodes to edit and post, and I am pleased to say there will be NEW EPISODES starting in September. My passion has always been to share history, and it’s been my life’s work (literally), and getting it out there means a lot. Stay tuned for exciting things!

About the Podcast

Kristin Harris is a Historian and Podcast Host from Salem, Massachusetts with an B.A. in Early American History from Penn State University and an M.A. in American Studies from UMASS Boston.
In 2013, Kristin moved to Salem to pursue her M.A. in American Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston, which was conferred in May 2015.
Kristin has been a public historian for years, first starting her career working at the Witch House, and the 1630 Pioneer Village in Salem as a tour guide for both. She later went on to work as a public tour guide for Salem Black Cat Tours beginning in 2014, until starting full time work as a Tour Guide/Reenactor at the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum in 2017. It was in this role both with Black Cat as a public historian and tour guide, (specializing primarily in paranormal tours), and as a budding academic in the Master’s program at UMass, that Kristin first connected her love for the paranormal with public history, and realized that the two could mesh as a field of academic study.
