Boston's Back Bay: Making Land & Making History

Join Boston By Foot for its event of the year - a 5-hour Labor Day walking tour of Boston's Back Bay. This tour will trace the history of the Back Bay from its swampy origin to a showcase of Victorian Second Empire and Italianate architecture through a mammoth 30 year land-making project in the 19th century. This tour will feature the Public Garden, Bay Village, Copley Square, the Commonwealth Mall and Newbury Street in Boston. A must for lovers of Victorian architecture.

The tour begins 10am on Labor Day at the Boston Common near the intersection of Charles and Beacon Streets. For more information contact Boston By Foot at 617-367-2345 or go to www.bostonbyfoot.org. $15 per person.
