Boston – Beacon Hill, ‘Ain’t I a Woman?’ and Ducklings

They say that Boston is a walkable city and we have walked for hours discovering the fascinating Boston African American History Museum having followed the Black History Trail around the Beacon Hill area. I learned about the feisty Sojourner Truth and her amazing speech delivered at the 1851 Women’s Rights Convention in Ohio. You may have to click to enlarge the photo to read it.

The buildings around Beacon Hill are beautiful. I loved the beautifully kept doors and porches.

We walked the Freedom Trail too finding The Old State House, Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market where we had Corn Chowder in a Bread Roll for lunch

Back to our hotel through the park, red leaves and the delightful Make Way for Ducklings sculpture.
