Boston

Overwhelmed by History

A trip to Boston is like a trip back into the very early founding stages of this great nation.  This city, so rich in culture, is one sightseeing stop that you will want to schedule plenty of time to take in.  The city is respectful of it’s own historical significance and they proudly offer every opportunity for you to jump into history and the fascinating culture of this diverse east coast community.

The very layout of Boston is a study in history.  It is a city that is seemingly impossible to find your way around in.  The roads twist and turn, change names and take on new routes as though they have minds of their own.  The reason that Boston’s streets are such a maze is that they reflect the days when the city was built around trails to accommodate farmers and merchants.  So the roads were not laid out to be logical, they were made to be efficient for a people who lived there two hundred years ago.  Today, travel around Boston can be as much fun as it is confusing as you see it as a challenge to try to learn the layout of this complex town.

Unlike many cities that exploit their natural attractions, you can absorb Boston’s rich historical past for free or for the low cost of a shuttle bus ride that will take you around to the sights at your own pace.  For starters, you can step out onto the street at many corners in downtown Boston and look down and find what they call “The Freedom Trail”.  This is a two and a half mile walk marked clearly in red on the streets below that takes you by some of the great historical locations in the city.
