Step off the Trail and visit the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum to learn about the most important event leading up to the Revolutionary War.  At the museum, take part in a raucous town hall meeting, watch King George III debate Sam Adams, and throw tea overboard!  A cherished treasure on display is one of the original chests of tea thrown into Boston Harbor on December 16, 1773.

If architectural tours interest you then Boston by Foot will bring you through iconic neighborhoods such as Back Bay and Beacon Hill.  Explore the city’s distinctive architectural styles of the Colonial Era, Federalist Era, and of course the Victorian brownstones of Commonwealth Avenue and Beacon Street.  On Beacon Hill, visitors view the most photographed street in America, the lavish décor of Louisburg Square, and historic sites along the Black Heritage Trail.  Beyond Beacon Hill is the Charles River.  

Boston is full of history and home to the nation’s oldest bar, restaurant, and continuously-operated hotel!  The nation’s oldest professional ballpark, Fenway Park, is open for tours, as is the nation’s oldest college Harvard University.  Want to get spooked?  Go on a ghost tour!  Interested in Presidents?
