Join the Jamaica Plain Historical Society to tour a residential area that includes a National Historic District. View architecture that spans three centuries, the oldest community theater company in the United States, and an elegant 18th-century mansion that once served as the country’s first military hospital. Learn about the monument commemorating fallen Civil War soldiers from West Roxbury and about Pauline Agassiz Shaw, who established the class that became the model for continuous free kindergarten education. We will visit a house dating to 1716 that once served as a tavern, the Eliot School dating back to 1689, the home of the first woman to graduate from MIT, and the First Church Burial Ground.


All tours are free to the public and are offered on dates shown. Tours last between 60 and 90 minutes and are canceled in case of heavy rain. No reservations are required, just meet the guide at the starting location.
