Remarkably, some of the stories of Beverly’s black population have been preserved and can be found at Historic Beverly in this exhibit. These are stories of citizens, black and white, battling against the unjust system of slavery; of enslaved men fighting for freedom for our nation, though not free themselves; of a woman using the law to emancipate her family; and of the racism that affected the lives of Beverly’s black population, long after they were freed from bondage.


Free entry to this and all exhibits at historic Cabot House.


This exhibit is generously funded by the Cummings Foundation.
