West End Museum Gets Sustaining Grant from Mass General Hospital

The West End Museum is Boston’s only neighborhood museum, dedicated to the collection, preservation and interpretation of the history and culture of the West End of Boston, a largely immigrant neighborhood displaced or destroyed by Urban Renewal that saw a third of Boston’s downtown demolished between 1958 and 1960.
