Hamlin Park Walking Tour (East Side) – with Mary Rockwell – May 8, 2021 – 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Join us for a tour of Hamlin Park. A beautiful neighborhood, filled with tree-lined streets and large number of architecturally interesting and significant homes. Learn more about its history as a Carriage Driving Park which was transformed into a residential neighborhood in the late 19th century. In 1999 Hamlin Park was designated an “Historic District,” the largest African-American community in the nation to be so cited. The tour will begin at 60 Hedley Place, home to the Hamlin Park Taxpayers Community Association, a vibrant community group that advocates for neighborhood preservation.
