Sponsored by: National Park Service - Boston African American National Historic Site, and the Museum of African American History
Join National Park Service staff to explore the history and archaeology of the Abiel Smith School in Boston. The Smith School opened in 1835 and educated the city’s African American students until 1855. The students and teachers did not leave many written records behind, but they did leave their trash! Come learn about the artifacts from the site and complete activities to earn a Junior Ranger badge at this family-friendly event.
