Newton History Walking Tour

Newton History Walking Tour

A 90-minute docent-led walk through the city’s first settled village and its Victorian streetscape.

Starting at Farlow Park, this volunteer-led walk covers Newton Corner’s arc from 1630s settlement to railroad suburb to highway casualty — including the blocks lost to the Mass Pike in the 1960s.

About a mile and a half at a conversational pace, with plenty of stops. Suggested donation supports the Newton History Museum at the Jackson Homestead.
