Black Heritage Trail
| |
When visting Boston, Massachusetts it is worth visiting Black Heritage Trail, a
Walking, Attraction. It can be found at Robert Gould Shaw Memorial.
To explore the beginnings of black history in Boston, the Black Heritage Trail was founded by the National Park Service under agreement with the Museum of Afro American History. Pick up a guide and map at the Information Kiosk on Tremont Street and cross the Common towards the State House. The tour begins with the Robert Gould Shaw and 54th Regiment Memorial just across the way from the gold dome.It's ironic that this tour leads the visitor through some of the most expensive real estate in New England: Beacon Hill. However, there was a time before the beautiful brick houses existed, when immigrant populations crammed this neighborhood in wooden structures. Some of the noted sites on the trail are the original wood houses.The tour winds for 1.6 miles up and down the hill, along the tidy streets, then through an alley or two, to end at the African Meeting House in Smith Court. Most of the buildings are now private homes with plaques that commemorate former residents. Except for the Meeting House and the Abigail Smith School, this is a street tour only, but don't let that put you off. Even from the outside, seeing the places where people took brave and notable actions is worth the effort. It's also an easy and fun way to learn the
history.......
