Slavery at the Loring Greenough House

June 10 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

In the 18th and early 19th centuries, the families living at the Loring Greenough House and farming their estate in Jamaica Plain used the labor of enslaved and indentured people. Scant information has long been known about their presence; recent research has uncovered more details. Join us for a talk to learn about these new findings and the ongoing study being conducted by volunteers.

This event is part of a series of collaborations, which will include a permanent exhibition, as new research emerges. The event is sponsored by the Loring Greenough House, in collaboration with Hidden Jamaica Plain and the Jamaica Plain Historical Society. It is free and open to the public and you can attend either in-person or via Zoom.

Space at the House is limited, a ticket will be required to attend in person:
