History Left A Definite Mark At This One Fascinating Spot In Massachusetts

This place in Massachusetts was actually brought to life by the horrors of WWII. Today, it’s still a beautiful community landmark and valuable historical site. Read on to find out more about one of the state’s most interesting gardens.

Tucked away in Boston is the only remaining continuously operating WWII victory garden in the country.

The Fenway Park Victory Gardens are a surprisingly beautiful reminder of the struggles of the 1940s.

During the war, the civic groups urged citizens to plant "victory gardens" that would provide families with fruits and vegetables in order to keep food supplies available to troops abroad.

Most of these gardens vanished after the war, but this one across from Fenway Park is still flourishing over 75 years later.

More than 350 locals grow fruits, veggies and flowers in the 7.5-acre garden, which is divided into individual plots.

If you don’t feel like digging in the dirt, the gardens are a great place for walking and picnicking.

History left a beautiful and tasty mark on this one patch of Massachusetts earth.

You can find the Fenway Park Victory Gardens at 1193 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts. For more interesting Masachusetts history tidbits, check out these 15 things you probably didn’t know about the Bay State.
