About the Business
The John Coburn House, located at 2 Phillips Street in Boston, Massachusetts, is a historic tourist attraction with a rich history. Built in the mid-19th century, this home was once owned by John P. Coburn, a prominent clothes dealer and community activist. Coburn's involvement in the abolitionist movement and his support for freedom seekers on the Underground Railroad are well-documented. He also played a key role in founding the Massasoit Guards, an unsanctioned Black militia group that served as a force for community self-defense.
Although the house is not open to the public, visitors can learn about its significance as a site on the Black Heritage Trail®. The John Coburn House stands as a reminder of the important contributions made by African Americans in Boston's history, and the ongoing struggle for equality and justice.
