Boston: Revolutionary and Remarkable

FALL SYMPOSIUM

In celebration of the United States Semiquincentennial, join us for a special Symposium in Boston! Founded in 1630, Boston was one of the most prosperous and influential port cities in the American colonies and a center of furniture and silver production. It was later the birthplace of the American Revolution, with key events and battles occurring in the city and the surrounding region. In the 19th century, Greater Boston was a distinguished cultural, intellectual, and literary center and remains a dynamic hub for education, innovation, and the arts today. With deep insight from scholars, curators, and archaeologists, the Symposium offers exclusive access to the Boston area’s well-preserved Colonial, Neoclassical, and Victorian neighborhoods and historic house museums, stately public buildings and churches, and venerable academic and cultural institutions.
