Yes, but there is no way to get the summary from Freebase directly. They dont include the summary in the TSV textfile downloads they offer. On their site, it says the only way to get the summaries is via WEX.

Are there other good ways to get the Wikipedia summaries?

You can just download all their data in a giant tarball and pull it out of there yourself.
