Trip to Boston. What to see?

I'm planning a trip to Boston, Massachusetts, sometime this summer. Any
recommendations on what to see, photographically? BRBR


Jim,

Boston is a great area for history and thus lots to photograph. Most people
start out on the Freedom Trail that runs from the "Statehouse" (aka the Mass.
capital building) to the Bunker Hill Monument on Breed's Hill. It takes you
past the oldest house in Boston (Paul Revere's in the North End) and on to the
Old North Church and the Constitution and then to the hill. Many wonderful old
streets are found in Boston. Outside a little is Concord and the Old North
Bridge off Monument Street. A visit to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery (on Bedford
Street) is also in order,--current residence to Louisa May Alcott, Henry David
Thoreau, Emmerson, etc. Lots of historical celebrities. Lexington (nearby) is
also the home to several historic things like Hancock's home and the Minuteman
Statue. Salem is also not a bad place to check out,--just up 95 a little bit.
Of course there is the House of the Seven Gables, the Witch Museum, etc. A
great tourist town is further north,--Rockpoint. I lived in Concord for
several years and found the history fascinating,--but the crowds a bit over the
top.
