Rent a canoe or kayak from the South Bridge Boat House for a day of fun on the water. Set sail on your excursion and explore the waters of the Assabet, Sudbury, and Concord rivers. If you don't feel like piloting your own adventure, look into enjoying a river cruise aboard a pontoon boat.

Like many of the buildings in Boston, the Massachusetts State House serves as an embodiment of the city's important history. The state's capitol building, built in 1798, resides on land that once belonged to John Hancock. You'll recognize the building easily because of its 23-karat gold dome roof. You can see the State House while you're strolling down Freedom Trail, or you can opt for an in-depth tour of it's interior attractions.

Pay your respects to some of the people who helped to build and define our nation at the Granary Burying Ground. Referred to as “the resting place of Boston's most famous sons”, this burial ground is where the bodies of people like John Hancock, Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and the victims of the Boston Massacre have been interred.
