Women's History in Boston's Ladder Blocks

New Walking Tour

This spring the Alliance is pleased to highlight our partnership with Boston By Foot in offering walking tours of the Ladder Blocks, the unique neighborhood tucked between Washington and Tremont Streets, just steps from Boston Common. This tour will trace the development of the Ladder Blocks, whose parallel blocks resemble the rungs of a ladder, from an early and vibrant residential neighborhood to one of Boston's most imporant commercial districts. Learn how the individuals and institutions in this neighborhood shaped Boston's intellectual and cultural identity over nearly four centuries, while learning about the challenges looming on the horizon with new redevelopment plans.

Along the way, you'll learn about remarkable women like Lucy Stone and Mary Rice Livermore of the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association, Opera Company of Boston founder Sarah Caldwell, and Elizabeth Peabody, whose bookstore hosted Margaret Fuller's radical lectures to Boston women.

The tour will cover 1.1 miles in about 90 minutes, covering mostly level surfaces and flat terrain.
