    My fiancé and I took a history trip a few years ago and this was one of our stops. This museum was so fun and interactive that you absorb a lot of history in a short time. The staff was fantastic, upbeat, and not only informative but super fun. If anyone ever goes to Boston this is an absolute must! The State House was also just wonderful!

    I visited Boston Harbor and got to toss a crate of tea into the water back in 2011. I still have the feather and character card from that trip. It was very cool!

    I visited San Francisco Harbor a few years ago. There is a sailing vessel from around 1880, made with a steel hull. I recommend a movie on Bing video "Twilight for the Gods" (1958) with Rock Hudson. It's adapted from an Ernest K Gann novel, about an ill-fated group of passengers who embark on a trip from Tahiti to Mexico in the late 1920's, as sailing ships are disappearing. I can't imagine being at sea for weeks.

    Great stuff... much of the focus has been on the Civil War but we have so many places that need help as well from the Revolutionary War. Come to Connecticut and see Fort Griswold site of the 1781 massacre by Benedict Arnold and New London, site of the city that was burned to the ground.

    Awesome museum ! Love the Colonial Williamsburg meets Disneyland concept.

    Great episode. I’m thrilled to see Phyllis as a representative of the interpretation. She is of course famous in her own rights! Of interest to note also, is the harbor and the area where the boats were moored, is today much removed from the interpretive location. Likewise, to stand in the actual footprint of where the “massacre” occurred today, would cause you to suffer the same fate though by the impact with a motor vehicle as the site is in the middle of the intersection. Disturbing to me is use of the old custom house balcony as a political billboard of a immorality display. But then, Boston of 1770, is long gone and forgotten. Our founders would sooner share the space with the British regulars.
