Boston Homage Walk - Part 3 - By Savvy Mom Ruth Paget

Boston Homage Walk – Part 3 – By Savvy Mom Ruth Paget

With my books in tow, we toured Cambridge.  We took the T Red Line back to Boston and took the Freedom Trail to Paul Revere’s home.  Paul Revere (1735 – 1818) is famous for alerting the Patriots that the British were coming as war started.

Revere’s parents were French Protestants (Huguenots), who taught him to be a silversmith.  I have seen his work at the Henry Ford Village in Dearborn, Michigan.  Revere’s simple lines and curves make his works easy to hold and behold.

Revere’s home was made of wood and had shutters on the bottom floor windows and diamond-pane windows on the second floor.  Both features appeared defensive.

We could just view the exterior of the home due to the hour and walked to Faneuil Hall.

Peter Faneuil gave this hall to the City of Boston in 1742.  Peter Faneuil (1700 – 1743) also had French Huguenot parents.  He made his fortune in the Triangle Trade of rum and slaves.

We were very tired from walking by this time and went to McCormick and Schmick’s for dinner.  Laurent ate clam chowder and lobster while I tried fish chowder and a mini clam bake.

Wow! That was a good meal after a good day of hiking through Boston and Cambridge.

Boston Homage Walk - Part 2 - By Savvy Mom Ruth Paget

Boston Homage Walk – Part 2 – By Savvy Mom Ruth Paget

From Boston Latin School, we walked to the Granary Burying Ground along the red brick Freedom Trail.

The Granary Burial Ground is the final resting place of Samuel Adams.  He has a large headstone.  Pebbles were placed on his headstone.  I have always viewed him as “No more man.”

John Hancock is buried here along with Ben Franklin’s parents, who taught Franklin to be good at everything, including writing and scientific observation.

The “real” mother goose is buried here as well according to guidebooks.  I paid homage to her and thanked the writers Perrault and the Brothers Grimm for collecting mother goose tales from all over Europe.

From the Granary Burying Ground, we went to the State House that was built after the Revolution.  We visited inside and out and agreed that Massachusetts has nice architecture.  Behind the State House is Beacon Hill with its lovely homes illustrating the best in New England’s domestic architecture.

We walked to the Boston Common park and finally rested on a park bench by a gazebo with Ionic columns.  Boston Common is the oldest city park in the United States.

We were hungry and planned out how to get to the Red T Train (subway) out to Cambridge, so we could visit Harvard University.

We went to a restaurant there that allowed you to pick out your burrito ingredients.  The burrito tasted great with a Samuel Adams ale.  I think the name of the restaurant was The Thirsty Scholar, but I could be wrong.

After lunch, we visited the Harvard Quads.  In the center of the main quad stands a statue of a seated John Harvard.  The statue is bronze with shiny shoes.

The legend has it that if you touch John Harvard’s shoes, you will gain admission to Harvard one of our family friends told us.

I went to a bookstore to buy souvenirs – two books.  One was on the geometric art used in mosques and the other was on the different elements used to make color pigments for painting.

Boston Homage Walk - Part 1 - by Savvy Mom Ruth Paget

Boston Homage Walk – Part 1 - by Savvy Mom Ruth Paget

My husband Laurent and I visited Boston for a convention and spent one weekend day touring Boston.

We began our tour at the port to see the USS Constitution.  This small ship is most famous for its part in the War of 1812 where it earned the nickname “Old Ironsides.”

The USS Constitution is still commissioned as a Navy ship.  It is a tiny ship that is perfect for maneuvering around Boston Harbor and its islands despite the harbor having been filled in substantially since the founding of Boston.

From the USS Constitution, we set out on Boston’s Freedom Trail, which is 2.7 miles long and has 16 official stops.  The USS Constitution is stop 15.  We started at the Freedom Trail’s end and worked our way backwards to stops teachers and writers would especially want to see.

Stop Number 6 is the Boston Latin School, the first public school in America.  One of my erudite classmates at the University of Chicago attended this venerable institution and is now a TV show host in Texas.

Other notable alumni of Boston Latin from the Revolutionary period include:

-Samuel Adams (1722-1803), who organized the Boston Tea Party to protest English taxes on imported items sold in the US

-Benjamin Franklin (1706 – 1790), a non-graduate who was an author, printer, postmaster, and diplomat among other trades

-John Hancock (1737 – 1793), a signer of the Declaration of Independence, whose beautiful signature still elicits comments such as “Put your John Hancock on this.”

-Robert Treat Paine (1731 – 1814), signer of the Declaration of Independence

When Boston Latin was founded, students had to master knowledge of the Bible.  When Harvard University was founded in 1636, Boston Latin became a feeder school for Harvard University.

An alumnus of both schools was the second US president John Adams (1735 – 1826).

Girls were tutored at home during the colonial period.
