A Celebration of Cambridgeport History
October 3, 2009
Cambridgeport Neighborhood Association Potluck
Thanks to the people and organizations that helped
Activities in Dana Park
Due to rain, there was a limited presence in the park. The following groups weathered the storm:
-
“If This House Could Talk…” booth
10am-5pm Go to the ITHCT booth for lists of sign locations, a brand new official historic map of the neighborhood (developed by Michael Kenney in association with the CHS), and copies of 1857, 1873 and 1916 maps of Cambridgeport for study. - A Mystery History Photo Contest (Cambridge Historical Society)
Test your knowledge of Cambridgeport past and present. Look at photographs of buildings and building details; if you can identify all or most of the images, you’ll win a prize and bragging rights as a Cambridgeport expert. Led by the Cambridge Historical Society
- A Long History of the River - Led by the Riverside Boat Club
