Take a look back in time at the Nichols House Museum, one of the oldest homes in Beacon Hill. The house was built in 1804 and purchased by Dr. Arthur Nichols in 1885; the house stayed in the family until the death of the doctor's daughter, Rose Standish Nichols, in 1960. As can be imagined, the family accumulated many things throughout the years from art works to furniture, oriental rugs, and other furnishings and antiquities. You're invited to experience early American life inside the walls of this historic home.

The Riverway is a parkway that connects the Back Bay Fens and Olmsted Park, making it an important piece of the Emerald Necklace park system. Throughout the park, there are several historic bridges and hiking and walking paths, including the Bridle Path that was used by equestrians to cross the river. The Riverway offers a nice outdoor escape from the hustle and bustle of Brookline Avenue.

Boston Bowl is more than just bowling; of course, if bowling is what you want to do they have you covered, but you can also shoot pool, practice batting at the batting cages, and go crazy on the games in the arcade. And when it comes to bowling, the options are seemingly endless. The bowling venue offers both tenpin and candlepin lanes, options for bumpers, Cosmic Bowling, and a bowling league if you're feeling like your skills are professional.
