Boston’s grand boulevard, Commonwealth Avenue, provides one of the city’s most enduring popular strolls. The tour parallels the 19th-century filling and development of the Back Bay from its origin at Arlington Street. The Avenue and its Promenade were planned to complement the transformation of the newly filled Back Bay into an elegant, upscale neighborhood. Meet your guide on Sunday, May 25 at the George Washington Statue in the Public Garden, at the corner of Arlington and Commonwealth. $15 per person ($5 for Boston by Foot members.) For more information call 617-367-2345.
