"Burgwin-Wright Presents... Outlander in the Cape Fear" explores the history of Colonial North Carolina through its depiction in the book and TV series "Outlander."

On this week's episode, we are taking a page from the fourth season of "Outlander" by looking at the brutal Colonial justice system that earned a reputation for "cruel and unusual punishment" in the American Colonies.

Through the events of the series, we will look at what crimes and punishments would have been commonplace 250 years ago, as well as examine what the port town of Wilmington would have looked like when Claire and Jamie Fraser arrived in 1767.

This week's guest is Christine Lamberton, museum director for the Burgwin-Wright House and Gardens in Wilmington – the home of the city's first jail compound.

This podcast is produced by Burgwin-Wright House and Gardens, Wilmington's largest and oldest historic site. For more information about the Burgwin-Wright House, visit BurgwinWrightHouse.com.
