Mayor Michelle Wu announced the launch of Tour 250, an interactive map experience featuring 25 new historic markers across Boston’s neighborhoods that spotlight the everyday people, immigrant communities, youth, and other underrepresented groups whose contributions in education, public health, culture, and civic life have shaped the city over the past centuries.

The Tour 250 web platform and mobile app, created in partnership with Bloomberg Connects, provides users a map of the 25 newly minted historic sites in each of Boston’s neighborhoods, in an interactive experience bringing Boston’s past and present to life with expert-curated content and audio recordings from local experts and historians. Tour 250’s digital guide features 100+ additional historic locations, illuminating mini neighborhood-based walking tours and stories that have not been previously uplifted.

Swim and splash at the BCYF Clougherty Pool

Yay, Summer is here! The Boston Centers for Youth and Family’s Clougherty Pool officially opened on June 20th. All Boston residents can create a free BCYF membership here! Some things to keep in mind:

• Due to capacity limits to enhance visitor safety, visitors must register for a swim time slot through our registration system. Registration will go live 24 hours before the following day’s sessions and will remain open until all spots are taken or until the session begins, whichever comes first.
• Sessions will be time-limited and visitors are asked to register for and attend one session per day. If visitors register for more than one session per day, we reserve the right to cancel their registration if there is a waitlist of individuals looking to attend.
• Visitors are asked to arrive not more than 10 minutes before the start of their session.
• Capacity guidelines limit the number of visitors per session.
• Preference will be given to Boston residents.
