Beacon Hill Civic Association Mission Statement
The Beacon Hill Civic Association (BHCA) was established in 1922 by a small group of neighbors
whose goal was to protect Beacon Hill's historic residential character. Today, the BHCA
continues as a volunteer organization that helps preserve and enhance the quality of life ​
on Beacon Hill, ​a historic, urban, residential neighborhood in downtown Boston.
