One of the oldest cities in the United States, Boston was founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630. Over years, the city has expanded beyond the original peninsula and is currently the largest city in New England. Boston is where several key events of the American revolution and transformation took place: Puritans fleeing persecution, patriots building a new nation, philosophers and poets preaching to change their world for the better. WIth its spacious galleries filled with amazing artifacts and the stories of Revolutionary Bostonians, the renowned Boston Revolutionary Museum helps visitors to get the complete Revolutionary Boston Experience.
