Join us to learn about the often overlooked parts of local Black history and culture in the 18th century through objects, games, and dance!
Join Essex Heritage and Krystina Yeager of Historic Beverly at the Salem Visitor Center to hear the stories of local Black residents in Essex County based on new research that’s been uncovered.
Through engaging hands-on activities, we will explore parts of Black history and daily life that are often overlooked which reveal a rich culture even within enslavement. Come feel fabric samples, play period games, and even learn how to do the minuet!
