Architectural Coloring Book Pages, Narrated Slideshows, Activities and More From the Chestnut Hill Conservancy

Community stories from our past in the comfort of your home

We hope you are doing well. To enrich our minds and spirits during this strange time of isolation together, the Conservancy is sending out new activities by email every couple of days.

These activities – architectural coloring book pages, narrated slideshows, activities from partners & friends, and more – are collected on our

HISTORY AT HOME webpage, which is being continually updated with new content from the Conservancy as well as from our friends and partners. Check it out, and send us suggestions for things to share!

Illustrated Stories from the Archives

Narrated lectures and slideshows of our shared history

Today, we add “Four Local Businesses” to the HISTORY AT HOME activities collections. This video was made from the 2019 Night of Lights slideshow on the same topic. This slideshow was developed by Liz Jarvis and produced by Leah Silverstein and Molly Murphy, with narration by George McNeely.

Email us if you have a comment on or idea for HISTORY AT HOME content!

Please join us in supporting our healthcare workers

at Chestnut Hill Hospital by putting your skills to use! The hospital is accepting mask covers (the actual mask goes inside) for surgical masks or N95 masks. We’ll be sewing from THIS pattern, but there are many patterns available online.
