Bolton Hill Blue Plaque Program

Bolton Hill has a Blue Plaque Program, similar to those in many other cities. Neighbors research to find famous people who lived in our neighborhood homes. Then they offered blue plaques which they attached outside near the front door stating what famous person(s) had lived there. They aren’t Beyonce or the Beatles, but famous nonetheless in science, literature, education, etc.
