Three Hub Mystery group Members visited the Boston African American Museum on Beacon Hill. It is housed in two buildings.
Above we are pictured in the restored meeting house that was built in 1806 by the black community that lived in the area. It served as an African Baptist Church, a meeting house, and the locale for the first school for black children.
A guide explained that it was a safe place for early abolutionists to speak freely and many did.T he second building, The Abiel Smith School, the first public school for black children, opened in 1835. Now it houses an exhibit honoring the highlights of black Boston.
We then went to Antonio's Cucina for a delicous Italian lunch.
