Boston has always been a city where history feels close at hand. The brick sidewalks, the cobblestone alleys, the gold dome of the State House gleaming over Beacon Hill — they whisper of the past in every season. Here, history doesn’t just live on plaques and in museums; it’s under your feet, in the stones that have been walked for centuries.
