In the first episode of Season 4 of The Object of History, we briefly discussed the filling in of the Charles River bay when we introduced listeners to the Historical Society's building at 1154 Boylston Street. On this bonus episode, we invited one of our 2025 Dean W. Eastman Undergraduate Library Residents, Vivienne Charpentier, to dive deeper into history of the Back Bay. Vivienne tells us more about the Back Bay and then joins Chief Historian Peter Drummey on a walking tour of the neighborhood.
