Jamaica Plain Walk
The Jamaica Plain Women's History Trail was researched and designed by Mary Smoyer in 1992, with a great deal of assistance from the Jamaica Plain Historical Society, local residents and friends. It is a good example of the kind of trail one could do in one's own neighborhood. If you would like to do a trail in your neighborhood, and want some ideas about how to get it off the ground, contact Mary at Howsmoyer@aol.com.
