5.4 A North End Perspective: Interview with Jessica Dello Russo


Listen Later

The North End is geographically one of the smallest neighborhoods in Boston, but it has a big personality. Dr. Jessica Dello Russo is a native North Ender and therefore a neighbor of the Paul Revere House. In today’s episode, she discusses her experiences seeing the neighborhood change over the decades, her background as an archaeologist, and history shared by the North End Historical Society. To close out the show, high school interns Erin and Elena talk about the perspectives they gained by spending a week learning about the Paul Revere House.
