About this tour
Discover Boston beyond the Revolution at the West End Museum, where the story of a neighborhood reveals the city’s changing identity. Explore exhibitions tracing the West End from one of the country’s earliest settlements of free Black people to a diverse immigrant community, then through the destruction of urban renewal between 1958 and 1962 and its transformation into the neighborhood seen today.
Your admission includes access to the permanent exhibition, special exhibition, and theater. As the only urban planning museum in the United States, the museum offers a distinctive perspective on Boston’s urban history and cultural heritage. The West End Museum brings these stories into focus through the people and places that shaped the neighborhood.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 3.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Boston
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.0.
