ACORN STREET RULES

In late 2018 the owners that live on Acorn Street worked hard to make it a private way to keep photographers off their street. To use Acorn Street for photography they did try and start a permit requirement, but the Acorn Street Association disbanded. The residents of Acorn Street do ask that you move through the street quickly and quietly and understand that it IS a residential street. It receives a LOT of extra traffic due to social media, and if you plan a visit, please do so respectfully.

The street is very Boston. It has cobblestones, the American Flag, and brickwork.

The soil in Boston was littered with stones they called "Cob". Since the soil had so many they had to figure out what to do, and thus began using the Cob to make streets we now know as Cobblestones. In the 1980s the residents made the street a private way to keep the city from paving it.

As much as the cobblestones are an amazing part of the street, You also can't forget the amazing street lights. I think these have since been converted from gas to electric. Nestled right in the heart of Beacon Hill, it's not the easiest to get to by car, so you should go on foot! Also remember your sneakers Walking in heels on cobblestones can be tricky!

I have found Acorn Street (nestled right in the heart of Beacon Hill) provides a fall backdrop when people are wearing jeans and boots. It's a cute stop for anyone walking around Boston, looking for Cheers!
