MBTA
The closest MBTA stop is the Green Line's Union Square station (E line). You could also take an MBTA bus from Harvard or Davis Square MBTA stations or walk/Uber 10 minutes from the Lechmere station.
Parking
Our tours run 2 hours so it is easiest to take the train or Uber/Lyft to Union Square or park in a private lot instead of utilizing street meters. Meters usually run for 2 hours time limit in general but in some places are 3 hours. You may be able to leave the tour briefly to refill the meter if that's your best option. On Sundays, street parking is free but on Saturdays one must pay. Public Parking is available in a three nearby lots — beside the Old Firehouse/SCAT building in the center of Union Square, on Washington Street behind Ricky’s Flower Market, at the corner of Prospect and Somerville Avenue. However, with the Farmer's Market happening from 9am-1pm that day, it can be difficult to find nearby parking so please allow yourself ample time to park and walk.
