Historic Newton: Newtonians from Afar Immigration History, August 9 & 23

Historic Newton will host two events about people who came to Newton from different parts of the world: why they immigrated, where they settled, and how they helped build our city. This two-part series of videos introduces guest narrators telling the history of different immigrant groups. Watch excerpts from these videos and meet the narrators for Q&A afterwards. Suggested donation for each event is $10 (Historic Newton members, $5).
