Highlights of the Salem Women's Heritage Trail
Since English colonists founded Salem in 1629 at the Native American village called Naumkeag, women have played an integral role in shaping its development from a small fishing village, to a leading maritime trading port, to a center of industry, to what it is today — a thriving city that celebrates its past while it builds its future. While the world may know Salem for the witchcraft trials of 1692, there are dozens more women's stories to tell. Patriots, educators, writers, artists, philanthropists, preservationists, social reformers, abolitionists, suffragists, business owners, entrepreneurs — Salem women have been there, ready to do what needed to be done. Bonnie Hurd Smith, who created the trail in 2000, presents a wide-ranging woman-focused visual journey through Salem history that is sure to entertain and inspire.
