TOP HISTORY DESTINATIONS: Boston In 1630, colonists from England established Boston. The American Revolution was born in Boston and the patriots of this land drove the British from the city on March 17, 1776. Even though the ravaged economy caused by the conflict drove the population to drop by two-thirds in the 1770’s, Boston rebounded and has become one of the great cities of America. If your students are ready to learn about The American Revolution and how Boston led the nation in fighting for independence, or how the state became the first state to abolish slavery, or even the history of the Monstah, Educational Destinations can make your Boston history trip rewarding and memorable.
