About this walk

From baseball's oldest ballpark through Olmsted's greenway to two of Boston's great art museums

Boston takes its games seriously. This is where it takes them. Six stops over 1.2 miles, about 26 minutes of driving. 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.
