Boston's Historic Places--So What? : An Interactive Guide for the Thoughtful Walker

By Hilary Hopkins

Unique, innovative guide to 25 of Boston's historic places. Brief, lively information is presented for each site, plus a theme and activities to help visitors connect meaningfully with what they are seeing. Using handy blank spaces to record their ideas, visitors are invited to discuss, sketch, and imagine as they walk Boston streets. This fresh look at old places helps visitors and residents alike get past take-a-picture-and-check-it-off, and instead find the deeper meaning of the history around them, and, by extension, the historic places of their own home towns. The book is easy to read, sometimes provocative, and always interesting. Illustrated with photographs.
