HYDE PARK—Until 100 years ago, the neighborhood was a taciturn town: "The City of Boston Archives has posted documents, maps and photos related to the founding of the town and its annexation, including a copy of some of the town's bylaws. On Saturday, local historian Anthony Sammarco, gives a free talk on the 100th anniversary of the annexation at the Hyde Park BPL branch—which originally opened in 1899 as the Hyde Park town library. The noon lecture also includes a slice of annexation birthday cake." [The Hub]
