Beacon Street Area Architectural History Part 1: Then & Now

Join Michelle Johnstone, Senior Historic Preservation Planner for the City of Worcester, for a walking tour that will explore the industrial architectural past of the Beacon Street neighborhood. Traversing an approximately 0.75-mile generally flat route, the tour will highlight extant and vanished places on Beacon, Lagrange, Hermon, Jackson, and Main Streets. Participants will learn about the history of manufacturing in this largely architecturally intact enclave of the City and will gain insight into those who worked and lived in the neighborhood.
