The East Boston Museum is currently under renovation, but will be opening soon! We are located inside the Atlantic Works Building at 80 Border Street in East Boston. If coming by the T, take the Blue Line to Maverick Station. If coming by car, feel free to park in our parking lot. Once you arrive, please ring the doorbell and someone will let you in!

Yes! We host regular community events that explore the history of East Boston. In the past, we have put on a number of lectures including the legendary locals of East Boston, the history of Donald McKay and East Boston’s shipping industry, and tours of the Bennington Street cemetery. Details about our events are posted on social media. To learn more about our upcoming events, please check out our Facebook page.
