Victorians loved to be entertained! Fannie Davenport (1850-1898), a very popular actress, thrilled audiences with her intense interpretation of Shakespeare and other classics. Another Boston idol, Ned Kendall (1808-1861), was a virtuoso on the keyed bugle. Marching bands often played soul-stirring hymns here to commemorate local heroes. Join us for a modern salute to yesterday's performance artists.


This walking tour lasts up to 90 minutes with frequent stops over varied terrain. Meet at the front gate. Please wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water.
