Walking Tour of Jamaica Pond

Join the JP Historical society on a trip around the Pond. Once a district that only included the houses of Boston’s elite, the Pond later was put to industrial use as tons of ice were harvested there each winter. Learn about the movers and shakers such as Francis Parkman and James Michael Curley who made their homes on the Pond’s shores. Discover how the Pond was transformed from private estates and warehouses into the parkland we know today. 

Meet your guide at the starting location, no reservations necessary. Tours last from 60-90 minutes, are free and are cancelled in case of heavy rain.
