Explore the new Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway on this
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.
The wharf district parks along the Greenway.
