Tour Guide

Jonathan Clark is a local historian and longtime resident of Asylum Hill. He covers important sites that are no longer extant, including the Old Town Farm, the Old Town Reservoir, the Collins Street mansions, and as an extra treat his own home on Huntington Street. He integrates historic photographs into his presentation, giving you a glimpse of what the neighborhood looked like, and he gives you a sense of how and why this section of Asylum Hill has changed since the 1870s.
