Discover the interesting lives of women who lived in Essex! This exhibit – the first of its kind in Essex – expands our understanding of the women of Essex and the ways they have influenced our town and reflected the larger story of women’s history.
The exhibit includes:
- Women whose ingenuity got the first meeting house built
- A young woman’s 19th century journal
- One of the first woman auctioneers in the country
- A professional female baseball player
