Boston Sites and Insights
by Susan Wilson

An Essential Guide to Historic Landmarks In and Around Boston

Whether you're looking for a history of one of the city's world-class museums or for a fascinating story about Boston's popular North End, Susan Wilson covers it all in Boston Sites and Insights. With practical, up-to-date information as well as fresh retellings of popular legends and lore, Wilson provides everything the modern visitor or resident needs to know to enjoy the multicultural city of Boston, Massachusetts.

Wilson describes all the well-known sites, such as the Freedom Trail and Fenway Park, but she also writes about lesser-known landmarks like the Abiel Smith School on Beacon Hill, built in the nineteenth century for the city's growing population of African-American children, who were struggling in a time of segregation.

Each chapter concludes with "The Essentials", a section that provides useful information such as addresses and phone numbers, opening and closing times, accessibility, and Websites. In addition, the book features more than fifty black-and-white photographs illustrating the sites.

Boston Sites and Insights was first published in 1994 and has become a classic and favorite of visitors and residents alike. Revised and updated in time for the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, the book is certain to appeal to a new generation of readers exploring this great city.
