    Looking South: Salem’s State University and Lead Mills –Sept. 26th at 2:00pm

    The second of Historic Salem Inc.’s Sundays in September 2010 Walking Tours On September 26th at 2 p.m., join Susan Edwards, Salem State University archivist, in front of the Sullivan Building at the corner of Loring and Lafayette Street. Susan will lead a tour focusing on the history and architecture of this institution of higher learning. Beginning first as a Normal School, the university has historic connections to the public school movement of the mid-to-late 19th century, spear-headed by Horace Mann, Nathaniel Hawthorne’s brother-in-law. After exploring the campus, head toward the Forest River with Margherita Desy and learn about the history of the Salem Lead Mills and the naturally occurring lead found in the area.

    This tour will last approximately 90 minutes and is being offered in conjunction with Essex National Heritage Area’s Trails and Sails Weekend.
