Massachusetts Audubon Society MA10 |

In 1896, Harriet Hemenway, a prominent Bostonian, began a campaign with her cousin Minna Hall to save the bird population that was threatened by the use of feathers in women's hats. Their efforts led to the formation here of the Massachusetts Audubon Society, one of the first environmental groups and the oldest surviving Audubon Society in the country. Built in 1869, this French Academic-style house was owned by Henry Adams in the 1870s. The great-grandson of President John Quincy Adams, he lived and wrote here while teaching at Harvard.
