Walking Tour: Early Newtonians in East Parish Burying Ground

  • Date: 09/15/2024 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM  

How does a burying ground tell our local story? Ramble through East Parish Burying Ground as we visit the grave sites of some of Newton’s early English settlers and the location of the 17th century meetinghouse. We’ll also reveal the hidden stories of the Indigenous Massachusett people and enslaved and free Black Newtonians who were not buried there, but whose experience is equally as important in understanding our city’s history. Please note that the majority of this walk will take place on unpaved, uneven terrain.
