The Jamaica Plain Historical Society will present a talk on the Walter Street Burying Ground on Tuesday, November 19, from 7 – 8 at the Loring-Greenough House, 12 South Street, Jamaica Plain. The Loring-Greenough House, Jamaica Plain’s 1760 colonial mansion, once had a family graveyard on its grounds. However, it had to be relocated as the area developed. The “residents” were moved to what was orginally the graveyard of the Second Parish Church in Roxbury, the Walter Street Burial Ground. The talk will focus on who is buried at the Walter Street Burial Ground, what graves have survived the test of time and what is still unknown about the site. Chris Child, Genealogist at the New England Historic Genealogical Society will be the speaker. Free and open to the public. For more information visit www.jphs.org.
