Did you just move to Boston and want to learn more about the neighborhoods that make up this beautiful city? Have you lived here all your life but still want to learn more about your home town?

Then Explorations is a great program for you.

What is Explorations?

Explorations is a monthly series offering free tours in different neighborhoods and historical buildings throughout Boston. Through these tours, participants learn more about the history and culture of these areas, and leave with a greater understanding of the city they call home. Boston has a rich history and a lively culture that is not always apparent to the naked eye. This is a great way to get to know the city the people and events that have shaped it into what it is today.

What is the Format of Explorations?

Each Explorations tour lasts from 1-1 ½ hours. Participants will meet at a particular location in the specified area, and will be led on a tour by a knowledgeable tour guide. Examples of past programs include: The Black Heritage Trail, the South End, and the Mary Baker Eddy Library for the Betterment of Humanity. Throughout the tour, participants are encouraged to ask questions. After the tour, participants are invited to a social component of the program, where they can grab lunch of a cup of coffee at a local café
