Anchored on Frederick Douglass Avenue around an Underground Railroad route to freedom and the Liberty Tree Historic Site, Brockton's ON THE AVENUE project is an extension of the Main Street Business District. The area will celebrate African-American history and document the region's contributions to America's legacy, while offering an entertaining place for New Englanders to frequent and travelers to visit.

The ON THE AVENUE project's historically themed streetscape will recreate the atmosphere of 1920s New York and the Harlem Renaissance, when artists and intellects enjoyed an explosion of culture and creativity. The new district will capture the flavor of famous nightspots, like the Cotton Club and Small's Paradise, while guides dressed in period attire will lead visitors through the many attractions centered around this unique experience.
