Walking Tour of Stony Brook, JP

Explore a former industrial area at the geographic heart of Boston with:

• 19th-century tannery and brewery buildings
• homes of early German settlers, and
• today’s Boston Beer Co., brewers of Samuel Adams beer

In the 1970s, a coalition of community groups joined together to block construction of the Southwest Expressway through Jamaica Plain and other Boston neighborhoods. Today, the Southwest Corridor Park that runs through the Stony Brook neighborhood stands as a testament to the power of community activism.

This free event is sponsored by the Jamaica Plain Historical Society.
