Top 10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Government Center, Massachusetts (MA)

February 11, 2022 Claudia Navarrete

Walk the Freedom Trail the first time you visit Boston and you'll quickly get a sense of this coastal city's revolutionary spirit and history. But make sure you also explore some of Boston's fine museums (try the Isabella Stewart Gardner, featuring masterpieces displayed in their collector's mansion) and old neighborhoods (like the North End, Boston's Little Italy). You can't claim to have experienced real Boston culture, though, until you've watched a Red Sox game from the bleachers.

King's Chapel Burial Ground

Reviewed By TravelingMerm - Monrovia, United States

You gotta love all the “burying grounds” in Boston - such fascinating history! And while the King’s Chapel burying grounds are smaller and less known, they still hold some notable internments, such as Mary Chilton (a Plymouth Pilgrim and the first European woman to step ashore in New England!) and the father of Ralph Waldo Emerson and also Hezekiah Usher (the first bookseller and book publisher in the British Colonies)! It’s Boston’s oldest burying ground and is a stop on the Freedom Trail. It’s an incredibly peaceful place in spite of being right smack in the middle of the bustling city. And so many of the headstones are truly beautiful works of art! And so old wow - I had no idea we had such history right here in the States lol! It’s easy to find, right off a busy main street in the city. I’m not sure about parking as my hotel was right in the heart of the city and I didn’t have a car...the city is so walkable and there are public parking garages scattered about.
