Since the puritan settlers had fled England to get away from what they considered Anglican heresy, the church was not welcomed.

Old City Hall – Note the two statues in front. One is of Benjamin Franklin, who despite being so closely associated with Philadelphia, was born in Boston.

  • A Boston Bookstore at the Turn of the Century
    A Boston Bookstore at the Turn of the Century BY FREDERIC G. MELCHER ^ liHE suggestion of this subject for a paper before the X. American Antiquarian Society was mine, and I appre- ciate the confidence of your Director that this subject might be made interesting and suitable. The history of the Ameri- can book trade has interested me increasingly as years have gone by. Sixty-one of them have passed since I accepted a chance to start work in the Boston bookshop of Lauriat, then Estes and Lauriat. I had prepared for Massachusetts Tech at Newton High School, but at the last moment had turned firmly against science and had decided to go to work, as college entrance then required more of Greek and Latin. Jobs were scarce in 1895 as the business cycle was at one of its low ebbs because of the "panic of '93" and the silver tide threatening from the West. That I turned, so fortunately for me, to retailing for a vocation, then considered without prestige or glamor, was due to the influence of my Grandfather Bartlett, who had inherited from Atkins uncles a part inter- est in a four-story French roof building at 301-305 Wash- ington Street, directly opposite the Old South Church, whose chief ground floor and basement tenant was Estes and Lauriat. The publishing department under Dana Estes had just moved to its newly erected building at 212 Summer Street, while the bookselling was continued under Mr. Lauriat at the 301 frontage on Washington Street. 38 AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY [April, I have now been away from Boston forty years and more, but those first years are as clear and vivid as any of my sixty years with books.

  • My Boston: Some Printing and Publishing History
    Preprint of My Boston: Some printing and publishing history David Walden Based on a presentation for the July 2012 TEX Users Group annual conference, Omni Parker House, Boston, Massachusetts. For practical reasons, the dozens of photographs, scans of historic book pages, etc., which are the focus of my presentation, have been left out of this preprint. The slide numbers are in the margin notes. slide 1 During the four summers before each of my college years, I worked in a large cardboard box printing plant (big letter presses and lithography presses) in a small industrial town 40 miles east of San Francisco. Thus began my fascination with printing. I was also an avid reader of books and of The New Yorker magazine to which my father subscribed. I dreamed of eventually living in a big city with big libraries and thick newspapers. Thus, after college, I moved in 1964 to the Boston area (where I have remained ever since). As I explored the Boston and Cambridge in the 1960s, I became aware of a number of publishing and printing activities, often by walking or driving by their then current locations and buildings. I also began to use the libraries and to frequent the bookstores. Compared with the small town in the Central Valley of California in which I had grown up (and even compared with San Francisco where I went to college), Boston was a mecca for someone interested in books, magazines, and the related printing, publishing and distribution world. With TUG2012 (in some sense a publishing event) being held in Boston, I got to thinking about and then looking into the history of printing, publishing, libraries, bookstores, and so forth in Boston.

  • The Freedom Trail
    The Freedom Trail The Freedom Trail is sponsored by The Spirit of Adventure Council, in conjunction with the Boston Chamber of Commerce. It was officially opened as an authorized historic trail of the Boy Scouts of America on May 28, 1972. Participation in the Freedom Trail hike is intended to help Cubs Scouts, Scouts and Explorers, as well as parents and unit leaders become more aware of the historic significance of Boston, Massachusetts and its role in American heritage. The Trail The Freedom Trail is a 2.5 mile hike through two and a half centuries of America's past in downtown Boston. It begins at the Boston Commons Visitor Information Center on Tremont St. near the Park St. MBTA station. Park St. can be reached using the MBTA Red and Green lines. The trail ends at the U.S.S. Constitution in Charlestown. This walking tour permits visitors to discover more than sixteen historical sites. The trail is marked by a red line painted on the sidewalk that will lead you from site to site. Note: You are not required to pay admission at sites to earn the trail awards. Also, on• street parking is hard to find in downtown Boston and parking lot prices can be expensive. We suggest using the MBTA as an alternative to driving into Boston. Requirements Registered youth and adult members of the BSA can qualify for the Freedom Trail Awards. All hikers must wear as much of the official uniform as possible. BSA policy requires two (2) adult leaders on all trips and tours.

  • SURVEYORS RENDEZVOUS 2017 September 13
    September 13-16, 2017 Massachusetts Surveyors Assocation Boxboro Regency Hotel Historical of Land Surveyors Society and Civil Engineers Boxborough MA 01719 Please Join Us . At Historic Concord, Massachusetts For SURVEYORS RENDEZVOUS 2017 t’s our great pleasure to invite you to the old Bay State this September, for Surveyors I Historical Society’s first national gathering ever held in New England — RENDEZVOUS 2017. This is our 21st annual ‘RENDEZVOUS’ - land surveying’s most unique national conference. People will be there from across America and distant lands. We’ll have fun and also learn. But you don’t need to be a surveyor or even an SHS member to attend. This event is open to all. There’ll be instrument collectors, history buffs, reenactors, college professors, authors, experts, enthusiasts and ‘just plain folks.’ Everybody brings special knowledge. Like the Minutemen of 1775 we’ll ‘rally’ at Concord — where the ‘Shot Heard ‘Round the World’ still echoes. At every Rendezvous, Surveyors Historical Society explores Land Surveying History - a significant subject not generally taught elsewhere. Schools don’t teach it much. Many profes- sional organizations don’t either. The remarkable accomplishments of past surveyors are very little-known. Just think of all the surveying knowledge that’s been lost over time. Previous generations knew the answers. They’d done the original surveys. They’d solved it. What are most of our survey efforts today, but a struggle to re-learn what they once knew? How many old surveys have been discarded? (Millions.) They weren’t deemed “worth saving.” If only we had them.
