Things to do - recommended by John Wilkes friend
As far as your group’s plans go, I include a link to a good summary article on things to do in Boston. https://www.planetware.com/tourist-attractions-/boston-us-ma-boston.htm#US-MA-BBH. Given where you will be, I suggest # 7 (the Constitution is a pretty amazing ship, great tour), some part of # 1 (the Freedom Trail), linked to a walk in the Pubic Garden (forget the Swan Boats), a ferry boat ride out and back to Castle Island (strangely not on the list of places to see, but readily internet searchable) where military defenses have been repeatedly deployed over a couple centuries (also gets you views of many of Boston’s 32 Harbor Islands), the Harborwalk (# 19) . Also, when I first moved to Boston, I lived in Concord, a bit west of the City, in a house bordering the historic MinuteMan National Historic Park/North Bridge - where the Revolutionary War Battle of Lex and Concord took place. Wonderful tour/museum there, a couple good restaurants, interesting town architecturally/historically. Also, if you are into the Arts, there is a great Fine Arts Museum. I could go on. Please let your colleagues know they should feel free to call about your plans or the pros and cons of differing sites/choices, given your objectives. Hope you are managing well, Bill Bill TenHoor
