Psychic fair sets up shop in historic Fearing Tavern on June 10
With the reportedly haunted Fearing Tavern as a backdrop, the Wareham Historical Society and First Spiritualist Church of Onset will host a Holistic Psychic Fair on June 10.
There will be 13 mediums channelling psychic energy inside the historic tavern on that day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Located at 11 Elm St., the tavern was built in 1690 and has been the site of several ghost hunts over the past few years.
And while the historical society and the church appear to be unlikely collaborators, this isn’t the first time both groups have hosted such a fair together.
Wareham Historical Society President Angela Dunham said a similar event was held in 2015, also at the Fearing Tavern.
“The First Spiritualist Church approached us a of couple years ago about a fundraising partnership, and it was very successful,” said Dunham. “We look forward to welcoming them back.”
Besides the readings, holistic vendors selling goods such as crystals, stones, jewelry, salt lamps, meditation cushions and more can be found inside the historical society’s Meeting House, located at 495 Main St.
Those wishing to book a psychic reading must do so at the Meeting House before heading over the Fearing Tavern. The cost for a 15 minute reading is $20.
Founded in 1903, the nondenominational First Spiritualist Church preaches that there is life after death and that the living may communicate with the dead through mediums.
Church member Larry Becker said the small, yet active, church welcomes people of all faiths to its Sunday evening services, which features prayer, mediumship and healing sessions and a communal meal. For more information on the church, visit www.church1.org.
When its not hosting psychic fairs, the Fearing Tavern is open for guided tours on Saturdays and Sundays in the summer from 1 to 4 p.m.
