Queen Rita and her Chapter Red hot Flashes, a support chapter of the Red Hat Society, took a trolley ride in Salem to learn about the Underground Railroad. The docent was dressed as a Salem Quaker. The trolley is equipped with a screen inside that displays more than 100 slides of the interiors of the homes, the Underground Railroad hiding places and several abolitionists who lived in or visited them. Dinner took place at Boneshakers at the Timberlanes Complex.
