John F. Kennedy Library and Museum
The Kennedy era springs to life at this dramatic library, museum, and educational research complex overlooking Dorchester Bay. It captures the 35th president's accomplishments and legacy in video and sound recordings and fascinating displays of memorabilia and photos. Far from being a static experience, it changes regularly, with temporary shows and reinterpreted displays that highlight and complement the permanent exhibits. An exhibit called Campaign! (through Jan 31, 2005) explores the young senator's run for the White House.Your visit begins with a 17-minute film narrated by John F. Kennedy -- a detail that seems eerie for a moment, then perfectly natural. Through skillfully edited audio clips, he discusses his childhood, education, war experience, and early political career. Then you enter the museum to spend as much time as you like on each exhibit. Starting with the 1960 presidential campaign, the displays immerse you in the era. The connecting galleries hold campaign souvenirs, a film of Kennedy debating Richard Nixon and of Kennedy delivering his inaugural address, a replica of the Oval Office, gifts from foreign dignitaries, letters, documents, and keepsakes. There's a film about the Cuban Missile Crisis and displays on Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, the civil rights movement, the Peace Corps, the space program, and the Kennedy family. As the tour winds down, you pass through a darkened chamber where news reports of John F. Kennedy's assassination and funeral play. The final room, the soaring glass-enclosed pavilion that is the heart of the I. M. Pei design, affords a glorious view of the water and the Boston skyline.
Blue Hills Trailside Museum
This museum at the 7,500-acre Blue Hills Reservation recreation area is fun for all ages and especially popular with the under-10 set. The museum is at the foot of Great Blue Hill, a 20-minute drive south of Boston. Here you'll see replicas of the natural habitats found in the area, displays about the Native Americans who once lived here, and live animal exhibits. Resident animals include owls, honeybees, otters, foxes, snakes, and turtles. Children can feed the ducks, deer, and turkeys. Other activities include hiking and climbing the lookout tower. On weekends, there's story time at 11am and natural-history programs at 1 and 2pm. Special events and family programs change with the seasons; call ahead to register.
Massachusetts State House
Boston is one of the only American cities where a building whose cornerstone was laid in 1795 (by Gov. Samuel Adams) would be called the "new" anything. Nevertheless, this is the new State House, as opposed to the Old State House. The great Federal-era architect Charles Bulfinch designed the central building of the state capitol, and in 1802 copper sheathing manufactured by Paul Revere replaced the shingles on the landmark dome. Gold leaf now covers the dome; during World War II blackouts, it was painted black. The state legislature, or Massachusetts General Court, meets here. The House of Representatives congregates under a wooden fish, the Sacred Cod. John Rowe, known as "Merchant" Rowe (Rowes Wharf bears his name), donated the carving in 1784 as a reminder of the importance of fishing to the local economy. Tours (guided and self-guided) leave from the second floor; call ahead to see whether weekend hours have been reinstated.Whether or not you go inside, be sure to study some of the many statues outside. Subjects range from Mary Dyer, a Quaker hanged on the Common in 1660 for refusing to abandon her religious beliefs, to Pres. John F. Kennedy. The 60-foot monument at the rear (off Bowdoin St.) illustrates Beacon Hill's original height, before the top was shorn off to use in 19th-century landfill projects.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Walk down Park Street (which Bulfinch laid out in 1804) to Tremont Street.
Sheraton Boston Hotel
A central location, a range of accommodations options, extensive convention and function facilities, and a huge pool make this 29-story hotel one of the most popular in the city. If you're on a budget, though, you'll likely be able to get a better deal elsewhere by shopping around. The Sheraton attracts both business and leisure travelers with direct access to the Hynes Convention Center and the Prudential Center complex. Because it's so big, it often has available rooms when smaller properties are full. A $110 million overhaul, completed in 2001, upgraded the entire property, including the lobby and meeting facilities. The fairly large guest rooms are decorated in sleek contemporary style and contain the chain's signature sleigh beds. Units on the highest floors are club-level suites, and all accommodations on higher floors afford gorgeous views.Facilities: Restaurant (New England); lounge; heated indoor/outdoor pool; well-equipped health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; airport shuttle; business center; room service until 11pm; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; executive-level rooms. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
Hilton Boston Back Bay
Across the street from the Prudential Center complex, the Hilton is primarily a top-notch business hotel, but vacationing families also find it convenient and comfortable. Guest rooms are large, soundproofed, and furnished in modern style, with oversize work desks. Units on higher floors of the 26-story tower enjoy excellent views. The weekend packages, especially during the winter, can be a great deal. The Sheraton, across the street, is three times the Hilton's size (which generally means less personalized service), has a better pool, and books more vacation and function business.Facilities: Restaurant (American/Continental); bar; indoor pool; well-equipped fitness center; concierge; courtesy car; 24-hr. business center; room service until 11pm; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; executive-level rooms. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
Holiday Inn Boston Brookline
Just 15 minutes from downtown Boston on the subway, this six-story hotel is more than just another Holiday Inn. In a mostly residential area not far from the Longwood Medical Area, it offers up-to-date accommodations at lower prices than more centrally located hotels. Many guests are visiting the nearby hospitals and Boston University. The recently redecorated rooms are large and well appointed, with oversize work desks. Units at the front of the building have more interesting views, though they may be slightly noisier because of busy trolley route below. The bustling Coolidge Corner neighborhood is a 10-minute walk away.
