America's most walkable history lesson
Boston, Massachusetts is one of the oldest cities in the United States, founded in 1630 on a small peninsula at the mouth of the Charles River. The Freedom Trail winds past the sites of the American Revolution; Harvard and MIT anchor one of the world's great concentrations of academic and research talent. Boston is a city of strong neighborhoods — Beacon Hill's gas lamps, the North End's Italian bakeries, South Boston's waterfront — each with its own fiercely held identity.
