Boston Preservation Month
Every year in May, Preservation Month promotes appreciation of the City's historic resources and celebrates the history and culture of people in Boston neighborhoods.
Every year BLC brings attention to history-related activities happening throughout the month of May. We look for Boston events that are free or low-cost. Find our list of exhibits, walking tours, lectures, and more below. And let us know on social media about any activities we missed!
