High on my bucket list was going to see the former home of Louisa May Alcott, known as “Orchard House.” (Although it wasn’t actually the home she grew up in, it was the home where she wrote Little Women, so she based the setting on that home). Little Women was […]
On the way to Modern Pastry we stumbled upon this Holocaust memorial. The official name of it is the New England Holocaust Memorial. It was really well done. It had six glass structures that you can walk through, each representing a different concentration camp. All along the glass structures are […]
I bet we spent over an hour at the Granary Burying Ground. It was fascinating. We didn’t find all of these, but here are some of the amazing people buried here: Samuel Adams-signer of the Declaration of Independence, statesman; Crispus Attucks-African-American victim of the Boston Massacre; John Endecott-first governor of […]
