How does a burying ground tell our local story? Ramble through East Parish Burying Ground as we visit the grave sites of some of Newton’s early English settlers and the location of the 1630s meetinghouse. We’ll also reveal the hidden stories of the Indigenous Massachusett people and enslaved and free Black Newtonians who were not buried there, but whose experience is equally as important in understanding this time period. Please note that the majority of this walk will take place on unpaved, uneven terrain.
Walking tours are $10 for members and $15 for non-members. Register at https://events.humanitix.com/eastparish2024walkingtour. For more information and a complete list of this year’s walking tours visit www.newtonma.gov/HNwalks.
