WALSH Greetings, Faneuil Hall is one of Boston’s most iconic destinations. In many ways, it tells the story of our city. It’s often called the “Cradle of Liberty,” where revolutionaries gathered to discuss the future of our nation. Today, it’s where locals and visitors alike gather to enjoy the food, music, and culture of our diverse city. My office at City Hall looks out over the Marketplace. Every day, I’m inspired to see how our city’s rich history endures in this exciting urban hub. Modern dancers and talented musicians perform in the same place where early Bostonians demonstrated for American Independence. School children come to learn about the women’s suffrage rallies and anti-slavery protests that changed the course of history. And local vendors sell goods on the same spot where the earliest merchants helped to establish Boston’s economy. Faneuil Hall is also the anchor of Boston’s Marketplace District, which includes our traditional outdoor Haymarket as well as the modern Boston Public Market. It ties together some of Boston’s most historic neighborhoods, like the North End and Beacon Hill. And it’s right across the street from City Hall Plaza, which we’ve transformed into a welcoming public space that hosts cultural events all year long. For centuries, Faneuil Hall has been a place where big ideas are born. It’s a living monument to a city that’s just as excited about its future as it is proud of its past. We invite everyone to explore this gateway to Boston. Sincerely, Mayor Martin J. Walsh FaneuilHallMarketplace.com 5 Table Of Contents A Message From Mayor Martin J.

  • An Implementation Plan for a Public Market in Boston
    An Implementation Plan for a Public Market in Boston May 2011 Submitted to: Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources Submitted by: Project for Public Spaces 700 Broadway, 4th Floor New York, NY 10003 May 2011 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Summary 4 Consumer Demand 10 Vendor and Product Availability 16 Public Market Design, Merchandising and Access 24 Market Oversight and Management Structure 36 Operator Capabilities 42 Start Up Financial Requirements and Sources 46 Start Up Operation Requirement and Procedures 52 Ongoing Operational Costs 58 Conclusion 64 2 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Boston has a long history of public markets – at one time the city boasted a series of markets to serve its citizenry and visitors. As in most cities, Boston’s indoor public markets fell victim to ‘modernization’ and they all closed, with the exception of the revamped physical structures of Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall which were converted to ‘festival markets’ having little connection to Massachusetts’s producers, farms and fisheries. As the tradition of the public market makes a well-deserved reappearance into the everyday life of American cities, Boston – with its burgeoning popularity of outdoor farmers markets - is well positioned to be the next great market success story. Moreover, a new public market has the potential to strengthen Massachusetts’s agricultural economic base by providing farmers, fisheries and producers of value added products a new and significant outlet for their products. The proposed market also has the potential to save small family farms from going out of business, thus strengthening the communities from which these farms and businesses are based.

  • Faneuil Hall Charlestown Navy Yard
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Boston National Historical Park Boston, MA Faneuil Hall " Those who cannot bear free speech had best go home. Faneuil Hall is no place for slavish hearts'' Wendell Phillips Originally built in 1742 as Boston's town meeting hall and a ground level market, Faneuil Hall is still used today as both a marketplace for goods and ideas. During the American Revolution, patriots James Otis, Samuel Adams, and others spoke here to protest such issues as British government trade restrictions and taxation without representation. Over the years, orators have spoken and debated here on many important topics including slavery, women's rights, temperance and war. Faneuil Hall, Congress Street, Boston 61J-242-5642; free MBTA: Green Line to Government Center Charlestown Navy Yard "A navy is our natural and only defense." John Adams One of the original six federal shipyards established to build warships to defend the liberties of the new nation. From 1800 until it closed in 1974, the "Yard" built, repaired and supplied ships for the U. S. Navy. For much of its history, the Charlestown Navy Yard's ropewalk (built in 1837) produced all of the U.S. Navy's rope. In 1926 die-lock chain was invented here. Die-lock chain is still used by the United States and many of the world's navies!
