Explore Boston’s rebirth after the Great Fire of 1872 with Boston By Foot. In this virtual program we’ll explore the route of the progression of the Great Fire, a disaster in Boston's commercial district that proved more costly than the legendary Chicago Fire the year before. Hear how the city's architectural design contributed to the spread and speed of the devastating conflagration, and learn how these fires reformed our fire prevention policies in America.
