A Storied History
Waverley Oaks offers direct access to Beaver Brook Reservation, 59-acres of open fields and historic woodlands including walking trails, ponds, a ball field, tennis courts, and a cascading waterfall inviting tenants to relax and recharge.
Beaver Brook Reservation was established by the DCR in 1893 to protect the Waverley Oaks, a strand of 22 massive and ancient white oaks which attracted over 100,000 visitors a year in the park’s early years. The site has historically served as a regular visiting place and area of respite in the city, including for a number of artists such as Boston native Winslow Homer.
Today, visitors can take a Self-Guided Tree Walk which highlights the diversity and legacy of trees at Beaver Brook.
Waverly Oaks By Winslow Homer, 1864
Born in 1836, Winslow Homer is regarded by many as one of the greatest American painters of the 19th century. He was born and raised in the Cambridge area, Boston, MA, and the first work he did in the field of art was working as a print maker, in Boston, as well as in New York, which he eventually made his home in 1859.
For Homer, the late 1860s and the 1870s were a time of artistic experimentation and prolific and varied output. He resided in New York City, making his living chiefly by designing magazine illustrations and building his reputation as a painter, but he found his subjects in the increasingly popular seaside resorts in Massachusetts and New Jersey, and in the Adirondacks, rural New York State, and the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
As a naturalist painter who also experimented with Impressionism, he became one of the most important chroniclers of the American Civil War (1861-1865). Homer’s works depict the lives of the soldiers during the conflict and of those who remained behind at home. Click here to read his full biography.
