Explore the new Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy
Greenway on this 2-hour special walking tour offered
by Boston By Foot. The Greenway is Boston's new mixed-use
public space that once housed the elevated highway since
replaced by the Big Dig. Learn the history of
the neighborhoods that once occupied this space and the
present day urban planning that is knitting Boston back
together.
The Dartmouth, Beaver and the
Eleanor were docked at Griffin's Wharf
the evening of December 16, 1773 when greeted by the
Sons of Liberty for a party involving 342 crates of
tea. Griffin's Wharf was located near today's
InterContinental Hotel, the distant blue glass
building at the center of this picture.
