Join Ed Gordon who will lead a walking tour of the Union Square area.

Tour meanders through residential streets with both high styled Victorian houses and more modest vernacular homes on Prospect Hill, and then highlights some vintage commercial buildings along Washington Street and Somerville Avenue.  Discover what’s brewing  at the Bantam Cider Company, and end the afternoon with a refreshing reception hosted by the Nu Café on Washington St., not far from the upcoming GLX stop.
