SUMMARY:Boston: Harbor History Waterfront Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Boston Harbor has undergone significant transformation over four centuries. Experience Boston’s rich maritime heritage and contemporary vibrancy on a 1.5-hour stroll along the Boston Harborwalk\, led by an expert local guide. The tour begins at the Boston Harbor Islands Welcome Center on the Rose Kennedy Greenway—site of the “Big Dig”—and concludes at Fan Pier in the dynamic Seaport district\, offering exceptional views throughout. \nThis small group walking tour explores the evolution of Boston’s waterfront\, from its origins as a colonial port in the British Empire; through its development as a major center for shipping\, fishing\, and global trade; to its rebirth as a hub for modern commerce\, tourism\, and recreation. As you venture through the heart of the Boston Harborwalk\, gain insight into the city’s significant efforts to expand and revitalize its waterfront infrastructure\, greenspace\, and public access. \nHub Town Tours delivers a compelling introduction to Boston’s identity as America’s “city by the sea.” Hear engaging stories as you pass historic landmarks and architectural highlights\, illustrating the remarkable shoreline transformation from an industrial area and “dirty water” dumping ground to a vibrant public space beside one of the cleanest harbors in the United States.

SUMMARY:1776: Declaring Independence
DESCRIPTION:Featuring manuscripts\, artifacts\, and rarely seen treasures\, this exhibition captures a monumental moment in American history.  \nIn 1776\, people grappled with ideas of liberty\, loyalty\, and the role of government in society. Private letters\, intimate diaries\, and newspaper accounts reveal how the Declaration of Independence grew from draft to founding document. 1776: Declaring Independence spotlights handwritten copies of the Declaration by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson as well as multiple early printings\, including a rare Dunlap broadside. On and off the page\, we explore how it echoed across the commonwealth and around the world\, reshaping the colonists’ chances of launching a new nation. How did the Declaration change Americans’ quest for liberty\, then and now? We invite visitors to trace the Declaration’s complex legacy as a national beacon for celebration and protest. \nCheck here for closures and more admission information: https://www.masshist.org/visit/hours-and-admission

SUMMARY:Brewing Massachusetts: How Beer Shaped the Bay State
DESCRIPTION:We are proud to introduce our most ambitious exhibit ever\, titled “Brewing Massachusetts: How Beer Shaped the Bay State\,” made possible by a grant from Massachusetts 250 and the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism (MOTT). Through rare artifacts\, photographs\, and documents\, this exhibit will tell the story of Massachusetts brewers from the Pilgrims to the present. This exhibit will be held in a rebuilt Revolutionary era tavern and tickets will be $5. Come see it starting May 30th at 107 Old Main Street in Deerfield at the Indian House Memorial.\nNo state has been more impacted by brewing than Massachusetts. But this story hasn’t been told in one place\, until now. “Brewing Massachusetts” will be open during the 250th anniversary of 1776\, a landmark nationwide event that will shine a spotlight on American history. We want to incorporate the entire state in our celebration of the History of Brewing\, and what better way than to include all of Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:AudaTours Stoneham Audio Tour: Timeless Tales of Historic Pride and Heritage
DESCRIPTION:In Stoneham\, the shadows of colonial fires and twentieth-century neon flicker side by side. Few realize how many secrets linger behind these iconic facades. \nThis self-guided audio tour leads straight through the city’s untold stories. Encounter corners and chapters that even locals walk past\, and let carefully crafted tales reveal what hides beneath the ordinary. \nWhy did a quiet night at the Bernard Cogan House erupt into controversy that changed a neighborhood? Who vanished beneath the glowing beacon of Stoneham’s eerily beautiful gas station? What explains the perfectly preserved pencil marks under the Warren Sweetser House staircase? \nMove between centuries as you cross storied main streets and hidden lanes. Each step peels back another layer of rebellion\, ambition\, and intrigue\, letting Stoneham rise up around you as never before. \nTap play and see how deep Stoneham’s shadows can stretch. The secrets are waiting.

SUMMARY:AudaTours Stoneham Audio Tour: Timeless Tales of Historic Pride and Heritage
DESCRIPTION:In Stoneham\, the shadows of colonial fires and twentieth-century neon flicker side by side. Few realize how many secrets linger behind these iconic facades. \nThis self-guided audio tour leads straight through the city’s untold stories. Encounter corners and chapters that even locals walk past\, and let carefully crafted tales reveal what hides beneath the ordinary. \nWhy did a quiet night at the Bernard Cogan House erupt into controversy that changed a neighborhood? Who vanished beneath the glowing beacon of Stoneham’s eerily beautiful gas station? What explains the perfectly preserved pencil marks under the Warren Sweetser House staircase? \nMove between centuries as you cross storied main streets and hidden lanes. Each step peels back another layer of rebellion\, ambition\, and intrigue\, letting Stoneham rise up around you as never before. \nTap play and see how deep Stoneham’s shadows can stretch. The secrets are waiting.

SUMMARY:Salt and Survival: The Untold Story of the Revolution
DESCRIPTION:School lessons about the American Revolution often focus on the Boston Tea Party—but far fewer people learn about the importance of salt.\nCod fishing\, Cape Cod’s biggest industry\, relied on salt for preserving fish for export.  British blockades\,  designed to cripple coastal communities\, were preventing salt being imported. \nIn response\, colonists relied on the sun and their ingenuity. Captain John Sears of Dennis designed the first saltworks\, using solar evaporation to produce the salt essential for preserving fish and eliminating the dependance on imported goods. \nAt the Jericho Historical Center discover the history of the first saltworks\, explore a detailed model\, see a demonstration of solar evaporation\, and view photographs and early artifacts.  \nIn addition\, tour an historic full cape house built in 1801\, and occupied by the Baker family until 1955\, containing 19th century furnishings\, textiles\, paintings and keepsakes.  In the barn\, tools and equipment from the 1800s are displayed\, as well as a carriage that raced at Riverside Trotting Park. The General Store is a reminder of the important role such gathering places played in the community’s economic and social life. Of special interest is the cranberry exhibit which tells the 200-year-old story of cranberry cultivation; an industry that began in Dennis in 1816!

SUMMARY:Brewing Massachusetts: How Beer Shaped the Bay State
DESCRIPTION:We are proud to introduce our most ambitious exhibit ever\, titled “Brewing Massachusetts: How Beer Shaped the Bay State\,” made possible by a grant from Massachusetts 250 and the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism (MOTT). Through rare artifacts\, photographs\, and documents\, this exhibit will tell the story of Massachusetts brewers from the Pilgrims to the present. This exhibit will be held in a rebuilt Revolutionary era tavern and tickets will be $5. Come see it starting May 30th at 107 Old Main Street in Deerfield at the Indian House Memorial.\nNo state has been more impacted by brewing than Massachusetts. But this story hasn’t been told in one place\, until now. “Brewing Massachusetts” will be open during the 250th anniversary of 1776\, a landmark nationwide event that will shine a spotlight on American history. We want to incorporate the entire state in our celebration of the History of Brewing\, and what better way than to include all of Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:AudaTours Stoneham Audio Tour: Timeless Tales of Historic Pride and Heritage
DESCRIPTION:In Stoneham\, the shadows of colonial fires and twentieth-century neon flicker side by side. Few realize how many secrets linger behind these iconic facades. \nThis self-guided audio tour leads straight through the city’s untold stories. Encounter corners and chapters that even locals walk past\, and let carefully crafted tales reveal what hides beneath the ordinary. \nWhy did a quiet night at the Bernard Cogan House erupt into controversy that changed a neighborhood? Who vanished beneath the glowing beacon of Stoneham’s eerily beautiful gas station? What explains the perfectly preserved pencil marks under the Warren Sweetser House staircase? \nMove between centuries as you cross storied main streets and hidden lanes. Each step peels back another layer of rebellion\, ambition\, and intrigue\, letting Stoneham rise up around you as never before. \nTap play and see how deep Stoneham’s shadows can stretch. The secrets are waiting.

SUMMARY:Brewing Massachusetts: How Beer Shaped the Bay State
DESCRIPTION:We are proud to introduce our most ambitious exhibit ever\, titled “Brewing Massachusetts: How Beer Shaped the Bay State\,” made possible by a grant from Massachusetts 250 and the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism (MOTT). Through rare artifacts\, photographs\, and documents\, this exhibit will tell the story of Massachusetts brewers from the Pilgrims to the present. This exhibit will be held in a rebuilt Revolutionary era tavern and tickets will be $5. Come see it starting May 30th at 107 Old Main Street in Deerfield at the Indian House Memorial.\nNo state has been more impacted by brewing than Massachusetts. But this story hasn’t been told in one place\, until now. “Brewing Massachusetts” will be open during the 250th anniversary of 1776\, a landmark nationwide event that will shine a spotlight on American history. We want to incorporate the entire state in our celebration of the History of Brewing\, and what better way than to include all of Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:1776: Declaring Independence
DESCRIPTION:Featuring manuscripts\, artifacts\, and rarely seen treasures\, this exhibition captures a monumental moment in American history.  \nIn 1776\, people grappled with ideas of liberty\, loyalty\, and the role of government in society. Private letters\, intimate diaries\, and newspaper accounts reveal how the Declaration of Independence grew from draft to founding document. 1776: Declaring Independence spotlights handwritten copies of the Declaration by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson as well as multiple early printings\, including a rare Dunlap broadside. On and off the page\, we explore how it echoed across the commonwealth and around the world\, reshaping the colonists’ chances of launching a new nation. How did the Declaration change Americans’ quest for liberty\, then and now? We invite visitors to trace the Declaration’s complex legacy as a national beacon for celebration and protest. \nCheck here for closures and more admission information: https://www.masshist.org/visit/hours-and-admission
