  Well-presented, informative display of an important aspect of Boston history of the 1950s-1960s and the extinction of some neighborhoods. Staffed by knowledgeable volunteers including some who grew up in the West End and can converse with visitors first-hand.

  I just walked past this place randomly, when I was just walking around Boston. I'm glad I did, even though I had no idea what the place was about being from the UK! The museum was quite interesting talking about the history of the area, the "famous" people, including the late Leonard Nimoy, who had only passed away a few months before my visit, and had apparently visited the museum a couple of times through the years. Bob, who seemed to run the museum was very helpful. At first, I was slightly "put off" by his enthusiasm for the museum, but you soon realise, he's not a bad guy, and his enthusiasm for the museum actually made it a more interesting experience. If you like to know about local history (in any country, or city), this museum is definitely worth going. There is no admittance fee, they just ask for a $10 donation. Thanks again to Bob.

  Such a wonderful, moving and important place, a critical piece of Boston history and a cautionary tale of how urban "renewal" should never again be done. I am so glad I missed my train so that I discovered it right there, plain as the nose on my face. DO NOT MISS.
