May 6 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm
REGISTRATION CLOSED — TOUR FULL
Musicians, manufacturers, a laundress and a Swedish immigrant — the history of this neighborhood is remarkable not just because of its many examples of distinctive architecture, but because of the colorful stories of the men and women who initially shaped it. Join students in Clark’s Public History course for a walking tour that takes us back in time to the Gilded Age of the late 19th century. Hear about the homes, their inhabitants, and the community’s change over time!
The tour is part of Preservation Worcester’s Jane Week programming. Jane Week — named for Jane Jacobs, an urban theorist and activist who championed a community-based approach to city building — gives Worcester residents and visitors a chance to connect to each other, explore Worcester by foot and participate in interesting discussions on how we can enhance the design and function of our city.
