Join fellow conference attendees for a guided stroll through Cambridge’s “most haunted” mile. Drawn from the Edward H. Nabb Research Center’s folklore collection, this one-hour walk brings to life the documented legends of soldiers, oystermen, governors, and everyday townspeople whose stories still echo through the city. Explore notable sites including Christ Church and its graveyard, the Dorchester County Courthouse, Long Wharf, and several historic homes. The tour begins at the Dorchester County Courthouse and follows a well-lit, one-mile route perfect for an evening adventure.
