Join CLA Archivists Billy McCarthy and Zachary Bodnar at 14 Beacon for a tour exploring records from five centuries of Boston’s churches.
About this Event

Celebrate the anniversary of Boston’s founding by exploring the many historic churches that have made Boston unique. This tour will feature records, images, postcards, pew plans, a 1669 land deed, and scrapbooks from both famous churches, such as Park Street Church and Old South Church, to lesser-known churches, such as Salem and Mariners’ Church and Berkeley Temple Congregational Church.

Held in the CLA’s historic reading room at 14 Beacon Street, these monthly collection tours connect residents of Beacon Hill and the greater Boston region with original, rarely seen materials in the CLA’s collections.

This event will run from 12 to 1 pm and will begin with a short talk by Billy and Zachary, followed by plenty of time for browsing items from our collections and asking questions.


Thanks to the generosity of the Beacon Hill Civic Association, these programs are offered completely free of charge to the public. Reservations are appreciated but not required.
