After many years of collaboration between Dorchester residents and the City of Boston, Edward Everett Square is finally a true gateway, a cultural crossroads with eleven sculptures by public artist Laura Baring-Gould, including the Dorchester Clapp Pear, and over 300 bricks inscribed with community quotes and memories.

Be a part of this ongoing project that celebrates the rich history and legacy of Dorchester citizens!
