The French Library and Cultural Center makes its home in two historic mansions in the Back Bay. Although it offers paid memberships, others are welcome to visit its extensive library for free. The center offers many other reasons for tourists to stop in. It hosts a number of free art exhibits and concerts and has an interesting mix of programs, including lectures, wine tastings and cooking demonstrations.
Located in Boston's historic Beacon Hill, the Congregational Library offers an extensive array of contemporary and classic religious material. Our collection includes a wide variety of resources on American religion, New England local and town histories, and three hundred years of records documenting the history of American Congregationalism. Our reading room, overlooking Boston's famous Granary Burying Ground, is open to visitors from Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. With advance notice, we are happy to arrange tours for larger groups. We will look forward to seeing you!
