 Black Heritage Trail
Massachusetts was the first state to declare slavery illegal, in 1783 - partly as a result of black participation in the Revolutionary War - and a large community of free blacks and escaped slaves swiftly grew in the North End and on Beacon Hill. Ironically, very few blacks now live on Beacon Hill, but the Black Heritage Trail through the area celebrates important sites in local black history (the various visitor centers provide maps). Zie Museum of African American History
 Boston Celtics
 Boston Tea Party  -  zie Boston Tea Party Shipssm & Museum
De Boston Tea Party was een protest van Amerikaanse kolonisten tegen de Britse overheid en in die hoedanigheid een belangrijk keerpunt in de geschiedenis die mede leidde tot de Amerikaanse Revolutie. Uitgebreide informatie over de Boston Tea party is te vinden bij Wikipedia

 Freedom Trail  -  perfecte introductie tot het koloniaa-revolutionaire Boston
Wellicht de beste manier om jezelf te oriënteren in downtown Boston - en de rol van de stad in de Amerikaanse geschiedenis naar waarde te schatten - is om langs een gedeelte of de gehele Freedom Trail te wandelen. Je kunt deze zelfsturende route op elk punt beginnen of verlaten - in de bestrating zijn rode bakstenen verwerkt die de 'trail' aangeven  -  maar technische gezien begint ie bij Boston Common bij het bezoekerscentrum.
De route voert de bezoeker in twee a drie uur langs 16 historische plekken en bestrijkt tweeëneenhalve eeuw van Amerika's belangrijkste stukje verleden.
