Beacon Hill Beyond Bulfinch: An Evening with Anthony Sammarco
Award-winning local historian Anthony M. Sammarco will be discussing the development of Beacon Hill since the nineteenth century. Mr. Sammarco has written over 75 books on the history and development of Boston including Beacon Hill Through Time. Over the years, Mr. Sammarco taught history at Boston University and at Urban College of Boston. He has received the Bulfinch Award, the Washington Medal, and other recognitions for his works.
Beacon Hill is not just the location of the Massachusetts State House but is a neighborhood which has evolved over the last two centuries as a thriving nexus of cultures. Known for its Federal-style red brick row houses, narrow gaslit cobblestone streets and brick sidewalks, it is not just a historic neighborhood but one that embraces people of all walks of life from the early nineteenth century to the present.
