This week the West End Museum is excited to announce a new exhibit designed by students at Simmons University in partnership with the Boston City Archives.

The exhibit, Learned from Our Neighbors: Stories from The Elizabeth Peabody House, is launching in a digital format this week. The exhibit celebrates the Elizabeth Peabody House, social worker and house director Eva Whiting White, and life in Boston’s West End. It serves as a preview of the larger onsite exhibit originally scheduled for installation in June, and now projected for the fall.

There will be an opening in the next few weeks featuring Simmons students and staff discussing their experiences assembling the exhibit. An announcement will come soon with a date for the opening.
