Once the Peabody family estate, this sits on the Danvers River, off Liberty Hill Avenue in the north part of Salem. Francis Peabody built an English-style residence here in 1840.
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.
The estate is now home to the Kernwood Golf Club, a private golf club started in 1914.
