All neighborhoods have secrets but some are stranger than others. Just in time for Halloween, The Emerald Necklace Conservancy will explore Jamaica Plain in Boston. Participants will stop at sites of anarchist robberies, stuffed elephants, and a nervine asylum and hear tales of trainwrecks and things that lurk beneath the surface of Jamaica Pond. The tour is hosted in collaboration with the Massachusetts Historical Society and the Jamaica Plain Historical Society.
