It's Patriots Day. Join us on the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War. Take an historic and scenic journey around old Boston as we visit the places and discuss the events that led up to the Shot Heard 'Round the World.
Amtrak from NY Penn will get you to the start, up to and including a 7:41am Friday departure arriving at 12:06pm. Greyhound Flixbus from midtown Manhattan departing at 7:30am will get you there as well.
Reserve your hotel room as early as you can, as this is a popular weekend. Suburban hotels with transit connections to Boston may be worth a look.
