Join the Jamaica Plain Historical Society on a historical walk around Jamaica Pond. Once a district that only included the houses of Boston’s elite, the Pond later was put to industrial use as tons of ice were harvested there each winter. Learn about the movers and shakers such as Francis Parkman and James Michael Curley who made their homes on the Pond’s shores. Hear about two women who lived here too who literally changed the world: Emily Greene Balch and Pauline Agassiz Shaw. Discover how the Pond was transformed from private estates and warehouses into the parkland we know today. Visit www.jphs.org for more information on tour logistics.
