West End Museum Adds Second Halloween-Themed Tour on Oct. 25

After the first event on Oct. 26 sold out, the West End Museum has added another “Murders & Mysteries: The West End’s Haunted History” – a Halloween-themed tour of the neighborhood that unearths its hidden mysteries and haunted tales – on Wednesday, Oct. 25.

The tour, which will last approximately an hour and a half, begins at 5:30 p.m. at the museum at 150 Staniford St, Suite 7 (on Lomasney Way), located near where the infamous Leverett Street Jail once stood. The jail held public hangings, visible from the street and surrounding apartments, and housed many notorious inmates, including John Webster, who was convicted and hanged for the 1849 murder of George Parkman; and Don Pedro Gilbert, the last pirate executed in Boston.
