Why should I go?
Many people know Beacon Hill today as a neighborhood devoted to pricey homes, boutiques, and restaurants. But in the 19th century and earlier, Beacon Hill was home to a vibrant free African American community. Today, visitors to the Museum of African American History can learn about the Black families who lived and worked in the city from the time of slavery through the abolitionist period. New England’s largest museum dedicated to the preservation of African American history, the MAAH operates two Black Heritage Trails and two historic sites one on Beacon Hill, the other on Nantucket.
