Downtown Boston

This is Boston’s business district, now and back when the city was just starting.

Boston during the late 1700s must’ve been heaps of fun. Samuel Adams was brewing delicious beer. Tea parties in Boston Harbour were all the rage. Oh, and there was that whole dust-up with those cheeky devils from across the pond. And even though all of that happened many, many moons ago, Boston has clung to its rich history. Downtown is littered with historic landmarks to explore, like the Old South Meeting House and the Paul Revere House.
