The Boston Common and Public Garden are a pair of public parks in Boston, Massachusetts. Boston Common, established 1634, is one of the oldest public spaces in the nation, and the adjacent Boston Public Garden is a more manicured garden space which was established in 1837 on marshland that was filled in. The two were listed as a single entry on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. In 1987, the two were listed on the National Register separately, and each was also designated as a National Historic Landmark. The Boston Common, located east of the Public Garden, is separated by Charles Street. Please see the individual articles for Boston Common and Boston Public Garden for further information.
Boston is a BIG running city, so it's no surprise that the #1 way to see our historical sites is on a RUN! We meet on Boston Common and run a 5k course that passes some of the most important landmarks from America's Revolution. During the run we stop at over sixteen sites to learn interesting facts (& take pictures!) and wind-up getting a great workout by the time we finish!
Situated in the heart of Boston’s Fenway neighborhood and a link in Olmsted’s Emerald Necklace, the Fenway Victory Gardens span seven acres tended by a community of almost 500 gardeners from every neighborhood in Boston, with a diversity of cultures, ages, abilities and experience. During WWII, the City of Boston established 49 areas (including the Boston Common and the Public Garden!) as ‘victory gardens’ for citizens to grow vegetables and herbs. As the oldest and largest continuously operating WWII Victory Garden in the U.S., the Fenway Victory Gardens are home not only to vegetable gardens, but to floral gardens, a community herb garden, an accessible garden, an apiary, a nursery, and a teaching garden. A meadow at the gardens’ center is ideal for picnics, yoga, bocce, and plenty more. Come and spend an afternoon exploring our special part of the Boston parks system!
The Cyclorama Building is an 1884 building at 543-547 Tremont Street in the South End of Boston, Massachusetts that is operated by the Boston Center for the Arts.HistoryThe Classical Revival style Victorian building was commissioned by Charles F. Willoughby's Boston Cyclorama Company to house the Cyclorama of the Battle of Gettysburg, a 400-by-50 foot cyclorama painting of the Battle of Gettysburg. It was designed by Charles A. Cummings and Willard T. Sears. The central space is a 127'-diameter steel-trussed dome which, when it was built, was the largest dome in the country after the United States Capitol building. Visitors entered through the crenelated archway, proceeded along a dark winding passage, and then ascended a winding staircase to an elevated viewing platform. Skylights lit the scene by day, and it was illuminated by a system of 25 arc lamps by night.In 1889, a new cyclorama painting Custer's Last Fight, was installed, but by 1890, the fashion for cycloramas had ended, and the new owner of the building, John Gardner (father-in-law of Isabella Stewart Gardner), converted it to a venue for popular entertainment, including a carousel, roller skating, boxing tournaments (including an 1894 fight of John L. Sullivan), horseback riding, bicycling, and so on.
