Join local author Alison Barnet for a trip down memory lane as she discusses her book Once Upon a Time in the South End. Originally moving into the South End in 1964 after her alma mater Boston University did not provide enough housing, Barnet has been getting to know the South End’s character and history ever since.


The founding editor of the South End News, a former reporter for Neighborhood Network News, and the author of several books, Barnet offers a unique perspective and in-depth understanding of the South End over the last sixty plus years. 


Join Barnet and The West End Museum to learn more about how urban renewal, gentrification, and neighborhood change has affected the South End and the people who have long called it home. 


Books will be available for purchase at this event.
