About this walk

A graduate health-sciences school with no traditional campus, the MGH Institute trades a quad for a converted naval machine shop in the Charlestown Navy Yard, its students studying within sight of USS Constitution.

A campus is an argument in brick about what education is for. Boston has a long-running one. Four stops over 0.7 miles, about 45 minutes of walking. The story for each stop plays as you arrive, so nothing has to be looked up and nobody has to be followed.

Boston has 50 MassRoam tours and no two cover the same ground. It works as well at eight in the morning as it does at dusk. Stop for coffee, pick it back up.
