Once the Peabody family estate, this sits on the Danvers River, off Liberty Hill Avenue in the north part of Salem. The Peabodys built an English-style residence. It is now the home of the Kernwood Golf Club, a private golf club started in 1914.
Francis Peabody, a noted chemist, helped usher in Salem's industrial age in the second quarter of the 19th century. In June 1913 the Kernwood Estate was the site of the Salem Pageant. Organized by Caroline Emmerton as a fundraiser for the House of the Seven Gables Settlement Association, a cast of 1,000 actors recreated important episodes from Salem's history.
