Few American cities have the diverse historical
legacy that is Boston's. For instance, the city was a primary political location
during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars; the telephone and the first anesthetic
were invented here, and Boston was home to some of America’s greatest authors,
including Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. In addition, America's
first newspaper - the Boston News-Letter - was published here. Today, Boston’s
modern amenities only compliment the city's amazing heritage. Enjoy a day at
Fenway Park, a stroll through Boston Common Park, a cocktail at Cheers (yes, the
bar they based the former TV sitcom on), or fine dining at one of the Legal
Seafood restaurants. Of course, Boston is also home to the famed Freedom Trail,
a free guided (or unguided) tour that winds you down Boston's historic streets
and immerses you in the rich history of Beantown. See everything from the home
of Paul Revere, to the USS Constitution, to Faneuil Hall and much more.
