    Getting a Dose of Boston History While Dining Everybody Loves A

    Getting a Dose of Boston History While Dining Everybody loves a good meal, but sometimes that’s just not enough. For those of you who would like a dose of history with your dinner, Boston is the ideal place to get just the right mix. Here are some of the top choices, although there are many more as well. Boston’s Old City Hall, built in 1865 in the French Second Empire Style, is the home of the Ruth’s Chris Steak House. On the way in, check out Ben Franklin’s Statue, which is where the first public school in America was built. Hence, the address of 45 School Street. The Old City Hall is just across the street from The Omni Parker House, which was where visiting dignitaries would stay. It was Boston’s first hotel and opened in 1855. No discussion of famous Boston restaurants would be complete without noting Parker’s Restaurant at The Omni Parker House, where Parker House Rolls and Boston Crème Pie were invented. 60 School Street. The Chart House is housed in Boston’s oldest wharf building (circa 1760) and is known as The Gardiner Building. It once housed the offices of John Hancock and was known as John Hancock’s Counting House. Located at 60 Long Wharf, just behind the Marriott Long Wharf Hotel. Perhaps the most famous restaurant in town is The Union Oyster House, which was established in 1826 and claims to be America's oldest restaurant. The building itself, located a few steps from Faneuil Hall, is even more long-standing and has served as a local landmark for over 250 years.

Extending approximately 650 feet into New Haven harbor, the wharf is the home berth of the schooner Amistad. This report, prepared by Archaeological and Historical Services, Inc. of Storrs, Connecticut, presents in detail the information about the structure that was requested by the SHPO. In its present form, Long Wharf is a concrete slab and riprap structure that was created in the early 1960s in connection with a massive urban renewal project. The base of the modern wharf, however, is a stone and earth-fill structure built in 1810 by William Lanson, a prominent and sometimes controversial member of New Haven’s African American community. That structure was a 1,500-foot extension of an 18th-century timber wharf, making the whole, at some 3,900 feet, the longest wharf in the country at the time.

    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!
