Lower Roxbury Walk
“Voyages of Women” is the second in a series of walks which have been developed under the auspices of the Boston Women’s Heritage Trail by teachers and students in the Boston Public Schools. This walk was developed by six, seventh and eighth graders in a Friday morning club at the Henry Dearborn School in Roxbury. After choosing the name for their club, the students visited with local women and organizations, conducted interviews, made a quilt and a giant banner, chose a name for the walk, and designed the logo. The students conducted a tour for first and second graders who had designed their own trail in another Roxbury neighborhood. If you are interested in developing a trail in your neighborhood, please contact us. We’d be glad to help!
