JFK's Boston

The Brookline streets and church that shaped a young president

Public men have private streets. These were theirs in Brookline. Five stops over 5.3 miles, about 31 minutes of driving. Each one starts talking the moment you reach it, so you can keep your eyes on the street instead of a screen.

Of the three MassRoam tours in Brookline, this is the presidents one. There is no start time to make — walk it in one go, or leave the rest for another afternoon.
