Roxbury Begins Here!

For thousands of years, this neighborhood was home to seasonal camps for indigenous people. In more recent history it was the site of a pious Puritan village, a Revolutionary War stronghold, a Victorian suburban community, a welcoming place for immigrant factory workers, a center for social activism, and a hub for Black culture in Boston. Today Roxbury is a bustling and diverse neighborhood with a reputation for community pride, rooted in a resilient community and reflected in the history of the Dillaway-Thomas House, one of the oldest homes in the city, and its ongoing links to the land, the people, and the spirit of Roxbury.
