BOSTON... A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
Wednesday, October 1 thru Sunday, October 5, 2008
Founded in 1630 on the Charles River, Boston is one of the oldest cities in the US. Join us in historic Beacon Hill with narrow cobblestone streets, elegant Federal-style architecture and flowering window boxes. We will walk The Freedom Trail that links 16 historic sights, many of them associated with the revolution and the early days of the United States. The Beantown Trolley and Boston Harbor Cruise will take you to sights in Boston that interest you most, including the USS Constitution, Paul Revere House, site of the Boston Massacre, the Old State House, The Waterfront, Old North Church, and the Public Garden. On their famous “midnight ride”, William Dawes and Paul Revere alerted the colonists to the British advance—we will visit Cambridge, Lexington and Concord, the cities associated with the beginning of the revolution. These two historic towns bear witness to the war for American Independence. We will also take a look at some of America’s greatest and most influential writers, where they lived and wrote -- Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Louisa May Alcott, Walt Wittman, and Henry David Thoreau.
Group leaders will be Kathy Palmer, UW-Manitowoc Continuing Education Director, and Cathy Paynter, UW-Fox Valley Continuing Education Director
