Furnace Brook Parkway, Historic parkway and district in Quincy, United States
The Furnace Brook Parkway extends 3.4 miles through central Quincy, following the natural courses of Furnace Brook and Blacks Creek toward Quincy Bay.
The parkway construction began in 1904 and completed in 1916, receiving recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004 for its architectural significance.
The road traverses land formerly owned by presidential families of John Adams and John Quincy Adams, connecting the Blue Hills Reservation to Quincy Shore Reservation.
The parkway maintains a speed limit of thirty miles per hour and serves as a primary transportation route for residents accessing different sections of Quincy.
The parkway's name originates from its proximity to the Winthrop Iron Furnace, established in 1644 as the first iron blast furnace in colonial America.
