Massachusetts Historical Society (1154 Boylston Street Boston MA 02215)

We will begin our workshop at Massachusetts Historical Society. The MHS is a short walk from the Hynes Convention Center stop on the MBTA Green Line, and by several bus lines. The MHS does not have a parking lot, but we recommend the Haviland Garage next door for those driving.

Museum of African American History Boston (46 Joy Street, Boston, MA 02114)

The workshop will conclude at the MAAH. When we transition, we will take the T as a group to the museum and will provide transit fees. Participants can leave directly from the museum, or return to the MHS with staff. 

The MAAH is near the Park Street Station, but will require a walk of about 15 minutes up a hill. If this walk is a barrier, we will drive you to the location and back to the MHS.
