See the Boston Red Sox in action during their next game at Fenway Park. The Red Sox has been a sports institution since the franchise was founded in 1901. The Sox have won MLB's highest honor, the World Series, seven times, and have claimed 12 American League pennants as well. Get your tickets early; every home game since 2003 has been sold out.

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.
