Salem women’s history is alive and well and we learn more every day!

While the world may know Salem for the infamous witchcraft trials of 1692, there are dozens more stories to tell about courageous women in Salem history — from abolitionists, suffragists, and educators to writers, artists, philanthropists, preservationists, and business owners — there are hundreds of stories to tell and we learn more every day.

We invite you to learn more about Salem women!

• Visit women's history sites.
• “Like” us on Facebook for the latest news and for
  special offerings and events.
• Walk the Salem Women's Heritage Trail when you
  visit Salem. Buy the book first!
• Contact us for a guided walking or trolley tour!

Salem women today:
• The City of Salem is led by its first woman mayor,
  Kimberley Driscoll.
• Woman-owned businesses are one of the fastest growing
  business sectors in Salem. Dozens of women artists,
  writers, musicians, entrepreneurs, and women's 
  organizations thrive here as well.

Let's support them!
