A Little History is a fun-filled interactive educational workshop that highlights the importance of such historic figures as Phillis Wheatley, Garrett Morgan, Angela Davis, Barack Obama and more! Young elementary students are encouraged sing, clap, move, imagine, and invent as they explore the stories of these trailblazing historical figures. Presented by COOS Teaching Artist Ken Allen.

Accessibility

The Museum of African American History's Abiel Smith School and African Meeting House are both fully accessible by wheelchair users and have accessible restrooms. More information can be obtained at The Museum of African American History's Website or by calling (617) 725-0022 x330.

Parking

Driving and parking are difficult on Beacon Hill. There are several parking garages in the vicinity with accessible parking. Learn more at spothero.com

Public Transit

Because parking in Boston can be such a challenge, it may be easier to visit us by taking public transportation. Most of Boston's subway, commuter rail, bus, and ferries are accessible to people with disabilities. Learn more through the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Page.

MBTA subway stops closest to the site are the Park Street stop on the Red and Green subway lines, the Downtown Crossing stop on the Orange subway line, or the Bowdoin stop on the Blue subway line. Visit the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority website for maps and information.

Reasonable Accommodations Requests

Castle of our Skins does not discriminate on the basis of disability, and is committed to providing accessible programs and events to facilitate participation. A guest or outside organization must notify Castle of our Skins of any request for an accommodation in advance of the event (ideally 2-3 weeks beforehand). Late accommodation requests, or requests made the day of the event, may not be possible to provide. Please send requests to info@castleskins.org.
