Walking Tour of Sumner Hill

Join the Jamaica Plain Historical Society to view a sumptuous sampling of 19th-century Victorian houses — one of the finest collections of “painted ladies” outside of San Francisco. The tour includes the ancestral home of the founder of the Dole Pineapple Company, as well as the homes of several early feminists and an anti-racism activist. Sumner Hill was designated a National Historic District in 1987.

Meet your guide in front of the Loring-Greenough House. Tours are cancelled in the case of heavy rain.
