The annual Vilna Summer Soiree is a moment to enjoy history, art, food, and community on Beacon Hill. 2026 brings the launch of the Everyone250 Project, a new initiative across Boston to tell the city's lesser known stories in this 250th year.

Enlivened by art, music, and food from our CJP x Vilna Creative Community Fellows, this is a unique moment to celebrate the multicultural and immigrant tapestry that is Boston.

Join Dr. Kyle Roberts for a tour exploring the architectural history of Congregational House, the home of the CLA for over 125 years. Designed by the Boston-based architectural firm of Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge (now Shepley Bulfinch), the eight-story Georgian-Federal style building opened in 1898 to house the various national agencies of the Congregational faith. Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building is owned by Faros Properties, a private landlord, and home to multiple non- and for-profit organizations. The tour will begin in the lobby of 14 Beacon Street and explore the famous bas reliefs on the outside of the building and the various plaques in the lobby before going up to the historic Reading Room to look at original materials documenting the long history of the building. These monthly collection tours connect residents of Beacon Hill and the greater Boston region with original, rarely seen materials in the CLA’s collections.
