5:30-6:45pm: Walking Tour of North Cambridge with Joe Galusha


Tour starts at parking lot next to Russell Field/Jerry's Pond, Rindge Ave.


This tour begins with glacial time - 10,000 years ago when ice left behind vast deposits of clay in North Cambridge, then fast-forwards 9,800 years to the neighborhood's brickmaking heyday, and the dump left in its wake. Clay shaped one of Cambridge's biggest industries, and the lives of North Cantabrigians for generations. Take a walk through North Cambridge to find out how.


Walking Tour Meet Spot: parking lot next to Russell Field/Jerry's Pond. Tour starts at 5:30pm sharp. Please arrive 5-10 minutes early.


Unable to make the walking tour? A 2nd walking tour is scheduled for Sat 7/22 10:30-12.


6:45-8:15pm: History Café: Conversation with Doug Brown, Eric Grunebaum, and Joe Galusha


Jose's Mexican Restaurant, 131 Sherman Street, Cambridge.


From Danehy Park to Jerry’s Pond; from New England Brick Company to Dewey & Almy Chemical Company, and Grace Construction Products - we’ll be talking the legacies of North Cambridge manufacturing, and what North Cantabrigians are talking about today.
