Mission Hill

This tour is being offered for the first time in over a decade, and covers an area of Boston that has undergone much recent change. Mission Hill is a neighborhood of continuous transition, rebirth and renewal. Part of the colonial town of Roxbury, originally written as ‘Rocksberry,’ due to the plentiful outcroppings of Roxbury Puddingstone found throughout the area. Explore the many wonderful public buildings of this fascinating enclave. Now mainly a residential area, discover its interesting housing stock as you climb to the top of the hill to finish the tour.
