Salem Women's Heritage Trail

A guidebook[1] of this self-guided walk was published in 2000 by local author Bonnie Hurd Smith under the auspices of the Salem Chamber of Commerce.

[6] Some of the women featured on the trail include the famous "Peabody Sisters of Salem," Elizabeth,[7] Mary,[8] and Sophia,[9] who were the subjects of Megan Marshall's 2005 award-winning book.

[17] Sarah Parker Remond utilized the smuggling tunnels in town that led out of her father's catering business in Hamilton hall to support the Underground Railroad.

Bostonian Lucy Stone[28] spoke in Salem at Lyceum Hall[29] against slavery and on behalf of woman suffrage.

Salem's Sarah Parker Remond's[30] first act of public resistance against racism took place in Boston at the Howard Athenaeum.
