Enjoy free admission to The West End Museum on September 5th and 6th to celebrate Labor Day Weekend.
The West End Museum is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and sharing the history and culture of Boston’s West End Neighborhood.
The history of the West End is one of continual change, American firsts, Boston innovations, and modern icons. The West End Museum celebrates the story of the neighborhood that led the way in Boston’s immigrant era, supporting thousands of the world’s “huddled masses” as they found their way from North End slums to the American Dream. By then, the West End had already produced America’s first native-born architect, provided a home for free Black citizens after the Revolution, and led the way in the construction of railroads, electric street cars, and so much more. The neighborhood changed dramatically after 1950. Two decades of Urban Renewal led to the clearing of more than half the neighborhood, and reinvention in its modern form.
Today, we continue to collect West End artifacts, investigate stories of West End community and culture, and share those stories with the public through our programs and exhibitions.
Experience all we have to offer FOR FREE Septmeber 5th and 6th.
Last admission is 30 minutes before close.
We will be closed September 7th.
