Mindful meoweler tips

Boston is the birthplace of America’s revolution

Visit the Freedom Trail, the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, and the Massachusetts State House to learn about America's struggle for independence

Boston is a city of firsts

Boston is home to America's first public park, first public school, first subway system, and first public library.

Boston has a unique accent

Prepare to hear the Boston accent, often dropping the 'r' sound and adding it where it doesn't belong (for example: 'pahk the cah in Hahvahd Yahd').
