Saturday, August 8, 11:00 am – Historic Walking Tour of Jamaica Pond

by

Join the Jamaica Plain Historical Society on a walk around the Jamaica Pond. Once a district that only included the houses of Boston’s elite, the Pond later was put to industrial use as tons of ice were harvested there each winter. Learn about the movers and shakers such as Francis Parkman, Pauline Agassiz Shaw, Emily Greene Balch and James Michael Curley who made their homes on the Pond’s shores. Discover how the Pond was transformed from private estates and warehouses into the parkland we know today.
All tours are free to the public. 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 Jamaica Pond Bandstand, 570 Jamaicaway in Jamaica Plain. For more information visit www.jphs.org. Image from www.friendsofjamaicapond.org.
