Neighborhood Guides

Neighborhood History Guides

These guides reveal the fascinating stories behind how communities grow and develop. Using historic images from the BHS archives, the guides bring history to life, connecting past to present, including compelling stories of neighborhood activism and growth. After discovering the dynamic past, find the evidence yourself, by using the accompanying walking tour and map included in every Neighborhood History Guide. Authored by Marcia Reiss.
