During your Boston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Commonwealth Museum/Massachusetts Archives
The nearby Kennedy Library explores the history of one of Boston's most famous families; here, you might find your own clan's history. The Commonwealth Museum has videos, slide shows, and interactive exhibits on the state's people, places, and politics. Topics covered recently in the regularly changing exhibits include the archaeology of the Big Dig, the Civil War, and state history. In the same building, the state archives contain passenger lists for ships that arrived in Boston from 1848 to 1891; state census schedules that date to 1790; and documents, maps, and military and court records starting with the Massachusetts Bay Company (1628-29). Knowledgeable staff members are on hand to answer researchers' questions in person, by mail, or by phone. This is a worthwhile detour on the way to or from the Kennedy Library.
Old North Church
Officially named Christ Church, this is the oldest church building in Boston (1723). The building is in the style of Sir Christopher Wren. In the original steeple, sexton Robert Newman hung two lanterns on the night of April 18, 1775, to signal Paul Revere that British troops were setting out for Lexington and Concord in boats across the Charles River, not on foot ("One if by land, and two if by sea"). The steeple fell in hurricanes in 1804 and 1954; the current version is an exact copy of the original. The 190-foot spire, long a reference point for sailors, appears on navigational charts to this day. And how's this for a coincidence: Newman was a great-grandson of George Burroughs, one of the victims of the Salem witch trials of 1692.Members of the Revere family attended this church (a plaque is on pew 54); famous visitors have included Presidents James Monroe, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Gerald R. Ford, and Queen Elizabeth II. There are markers and plaques throughout; note the bust of George Washington, reputedly the first memorial to the first president. The gardens on the north side of the church (dotted with more plaques) are open to the public. On the south side of the church, volunteers maintain an 18th-century garden. Proceeds from the quirky gift shop and museum go to support the church.Free tours of the church begin every 15 minutes. The 50-minute behind-the-scenes tour ($8 adults, $5 children under 17) includes visits to the steeple and the crypt. Tours are available on weekdays and on weekend afternoons from June to mid-August, and the rest of the year by appointment. Reservations are recommended.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Cross Salem Street onto Hull Street, and walk uphill toward Copp's Hill Burying Ground. On the left you'll pass 44 Hull St., a private residence that's the narrowest (10 ft. wide) house in Boston.
James Rego Square (Paul Revere Mall)
A pleasant little brick-paved park known as the Prado, the mall holds a famous equestrian statue of Paul Revere. Take time to read some of the tablets on the left-hand wall that describe famous people and places in the history of the North End.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Walk around the fountain and continue to Salem Street.
Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites
A limited-services lodging on a busy street, the Holiday Inn Express is a great deal. It's comfortable and convenient -- just a 5-minute walk from the Green Line -- which makes it perfect for businesspeople on tight budgets as well as vacationers. Each decent-size room has a fridge and a microwave, making this a good choice for families who plan to eat some meals in. The eight-story building sits slightly back from the street, but you'll still want to be as high up as possible to get away from traffic noise. If you're willing to do without a restaurant, business center, or exercise facility, you'll probably find that the reasonable rates, which include parking -- a big plus in Cambridge -- more than make up for the lack of extras.
Anthony's Town House
The Anthony family has operated this four-story brownstone guesthouse since 1944, and a stay here is very much like spending the night at Grandma's. Many patrons are Europeans accustomed to guesthouse accommodations with shared bathrooms, and budget-minded Americans won't be disappointed. Each floor has three high-ceilinged rooms furnished in rather ornate Queen Anne or Victorian style, and one bathroom with an enclosed shower. Smaller rooms (one per floor) have twin beds; the large front rooms have bay windows. Guests have the use of two refrigerators. The guesthouse is 1 mile from Boston's Kenmore Square, about 15 minutes from downtown by T, and 2 blocks from a busy commercial strip. The late-19th-century building is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Harborside Inn
Under the same management as the Newbury Guest House in the Back Bay, the Harborside Inn offers a similar combination of location and (for this neighborhood) value. The renovated 1858 warehouse is across the street from Faneuil Hall Marketplace and the harbor, and a short walk from the Financial District. The nicely appointed guest rooms have queen-size beds, hardwood floors, Oriental rugs, and Victorian-style furniture. The rooms surround a sky-lit atrium; those with city views are more expensive but can be noisier (though that's less of a problem now that so much traffic is underground). Still, they're preferable to the interior rooms, whose windows open only to the atrium. Rooms on the top floors of the eight-story building have lower ceilings but better views.
