Historic Maps of Somerville via Boston Public Library

[mem_winterhill]

This reminds me that I need to renew my Boston Public Library card shortly--did you know that as a Somerville resident you can have not only a Somerville Public Library card, but also a BPL one? Go over to a BPL branch next time you are nearby and grab one.

But check out this digital offering. You can see old maps of the area overlaid on current maps. Super fun. Check out Foss Park's former paths. And who owned the plot of land you are on.

I entered my zip code and it came right up.
