The 120-foot hill that occupies the Winter Hill neighborhood played a key role in the American Revolution – but all signs of its significance during that time have vanished. The name dates back to the early 1600s, and early maps of the area show Winter Hill Fort as a major military installation. But while very little remains to pay tribute to Winter Hill’s history, the residents haven’t forgotten. In fact, they re-enact Paul Revere’s ride through Winter Hill as part of Boston’s Patriots Day events.
Winter Hill is considered a hip, trendy Somerville neighborhood with great bus service and a family-friendly vibe. The location is excellent, with easy access to nearby Harvard University, Tufts University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Somerville is south of Medford, northeast of Cambridge, and northwest of Boston.
Most of the shops and restaurants in Winter Hill are located along Broadway. Some popular destinations include the Winter Hill Brewing Company, Leone’s Sub and Pizza, La Brasa, Pastelaria Vitoria Broadway, Fasika Ethiopian, and Casey’s. Winter Hill contains several small parks, such as the Deanna Cremin Playground, Edward L. Leathers Community Park, and Hoyt-Sullivan Playground. One major historical landmark in the neighborhood, Peter and Oliver Tufts House, was built in 1714 and is the oldest house in the neighborhood.
