Glimpses of Early Roxbury /December 10, 2011 by Jason Turgeon

In 1905, the Daughters of the American Revolution put together this concise little guide to the landmarks of Roxbury.  This book is all about the buildings and geography of historical Roxbury, with lots of interesting asides about who did what and lived where.  As a future project, I might convert this to a google map and excerpt the text to accompany the mapped locations.

I've written a couple of blogs in my time. I no longer actively maintain them, but I present them here for archival purposes.
