Duxbury, like all Northern towns, has a complicated relationship with the institution of slavery. During Colonial days, enslaved people lived and worked in this community. After slavery ended in Massachusetts in 1783, Duxbury’s economic ties to Southern slavery continued. Come learn with us, as DRHS Archivist and Historian Carolyn Ravenscroft explores the lives of the enslaved in Duxbury and the myriad ways that Duxbury’s 19th Century wealth was tied to enslaved labor. This event will be held at the Duxbury Fee Library at 6:30pm on September 29. . Registration is available here:
