History of the Boston Children's Museum

For over 100 years Boston Children's Museum has been engaging children in joyful discovery experiences that instill an appreciation of our world, develop foundational skills, and spark a lifelong love of learning.  In 1913, the Museum opened its doors at Pinebank in Jamaica Plain.  Since then, the Museum has grown from a museum rooted in a single neighborhood to an urban museum serving the entire city of Boston and beyond.  Come learn about the history of the Museum, what has changed and what has stood the test of time.

The speakers are Leslie Swartz, Senior vice-president of Research and Development at Boston Children's Museum and special guest Ted Walsh, a lifelong resident of JP who has collaborated on centennial exhibit materials based on his memories of visits to BCM.

This event is being co-sponsored by the JP Forum and the Jamaica Plain Historical Society.
