Boston offers some fine activities for
vacationers even if you missed the
Tall Ships visit.
Landmarks that should not be missed
for the history lover include the
Freedom Trail, a walking trail that
links the Paul Revere House, the
Boston Massacre site, Old North
Church,  Faneuil Hall/ Quincy Market,
the Old Statehouse, the Bunker Hill
Monument, and Old Ironsides, the
oldest commissioned warship and
one that fought in the war of 1812.
Boston has long been famous for its
artists and art museums including the
Museum of Fine Arts, the Isabella
Stewart Gardner Museum, and
Harvard's Fogg and Bush Reisinger.
The latest entry, a new art museum
right on the harbor, the museum of
Contemporary Art. Long a small
collection tucked into a tiny building
near the Prudential Center, the new
modern building houses and
expanded collection in a setting with a
water view.
A walking path along the harbor leads
from downtown to the new building, an
area where the tall ships will tie up.
