Abigail Adams, Lucy Stone and Phillis Wheatley are heeding the advice of Mayor Walsh and the CDC by wearing face masks in public. They are also, as always, maintaining safe social distance.
You can go and visit them though! Go to 256 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, and look for them on the Commonwealth Mall. (Remember to maintain social distance with them, too. The virus can live on surfaces for 3 days.)
By the way, did you know that Abigail Adams was a pioneer in the use of vaccines during the small pox epidemic of the 18th century?
The Boston Women’s Memorial is one of the spots on our new trail: Road to the Vote: Boston Women’s Suffrage Trail. Start at this stop and go on with the guide and map on this website here.
