The Nawn Factory: A Keystone in Roxbury's Past and Future - Virtual Program

The Nawn Factory has long been a gateway landmark in Roxbury, marking the distinct change in character to visitors to the neighborhood. The site has a long and storied history: from its prehistoric role of sitting on the only natural land connection to the Shawmut Peninsula; historical uses as Boston grew from a small colonial outpost to a world class city, and recent abandonment and neglect. The walls can talk, and they tell a story of changes as the neighborhood's fates have shifted with time. Now the building embarks on a new chapter, finding its place in a redeveloping and modern Roxbury. Learn more about the plans for the transformation of a keystone of Roxbury in this virtual event.

Program registration is free with a suggested donation to support Boston By Foot's nonprofit mission to inspire locals and visitors to discover and appreciate the diverse stories of Boston by exploring the cityscape together. Virtual programs are recorded and a link to the recording is sent to all registered participants a week after the program.
