Marblehead Museum to offer walking tour exploring slavery and abolition

Table of Contents

The Marblehead Museum will guide visitors through two centuries of the town's role in the struggle for freedom when it holds its Slavery to Freedom Walking Tour on Thursday, August 6 at 4 p.m.

The tour traces sites where enslaved people lived in Marblehead during the 1700s and moves through the 1800s, when black and white abolitionists fought for emancipation from multiple angles: through sermons delivered from local pulpits, votes cast at the ballot box and desperate journeys along the Underground Railroad.

Tickets cost $15 each. They can be ordered through the Marblehead Museum website or by calling 781-631-1768.
