Walking Tour: 100+ Years Ago in Auburndale

This tour takes you past sites of importance from the 18th through the early 20th century, telling you colorful stories about the people and institutions that shaped the village we know today. You’ll see one of Newton’s oldest homes, hear about student life at Lasell Female Seminary, and see where the families of missionaries once lived in between assignments abroad.
