Did anyone else try to figure out the pilgrim's relationship to Jericho VT? I was like hmm. And the sign said est in the 1600s and I think Jericho vt was later?

The town in the series was founded in 1625, which would have been just a few short years after 1620 when the Pilgrims settled in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Jericho’s links to the Pilgrims are strong as the town has its own attraction dedicated to them, known as Pilgrim World.

In Wednesday, the town was founded by a man named Joseph Crackstone who has an ancient link with the Addams Family’s ancestors.

I understand the plot of Wednesday, and enjoyed it, thanks for explaining the fiction part. These two facts about actual Jericho made me question the above:

The Browns were the first European family to settle in Jericho, in 1774, building a cabin near the Browns River.[6] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho,_Vermont

It seemed like they could have used a town with a stronger pilgrim connection. Also, it was weird they changed the est. date. But, it's not like most people know much about VT anyways, just seemed like a weird town to pick.

When they approached Pilgrim World, I thought of Plymouth, MA.
