35th AMATYC Annual Conference

Local Arrangements in Boston

The Local Events Committee (LEC) is looking forward to welcoming you to Boston and the 36th Annual AMATYC Conference. We hope that you will have a great time in our wonderful city! To have a great time, go across the street from the hotel and buy a ticket for either the hop-on, hop-off trolley or a duck boat tour and enjoy the sights of Boston. If you take a duck boat tour enjoy its splashing into the Charles River and showing many sites of the city from a unique vantage point.

History flashes before your eyes. Visit the Charlestown Navy Yard where Old Ironsides (USS Constitution) and the World War II destroyer, USS Cassin Young, reside. The Constitution Museum is also there. Nearby is the Bunker Hill Monument located on Breed’s Hill.

Next, visit sites along the Freedom Trail; Old North Church, King’s Chapel, the Old Granary Burial Grounds, Park Street Church and Boston Common. Visit Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market Place — be sure to visit Paul Revere’s House, Boston Massacre site and the Old State House which are nearby. If you have time, enjoy a meal at one of Boston’s many famous restaurants that are located in this part of town. Next, travel down Beacon Street past the gold domed State House and past “Cheers” Bar with the famous Boston Common on your left. Unfortunately the swan boats do not run at this time of the year but you can visit a sculpture of the mother duckling with her babies based on the famous children’s book, Make Way for Ducklings.

Cross over the Mass Avenue Bridge and visit Cambridge — be sure to walk through Harvard Yard and stop at Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s home which served as George Washington’s headquarters.
When you return to the hotel remember the oldest public library in the United States is nearby, as well as Trinity Church and the wonderful shopping to be found on Tremont and Newberry streets.
If museums are your pleasure, buy a city pass that allows you go to the New England Aquarium, the Museum of Fine Arts (near Symphony Hall and Northeastern University) and the Museum of Science. Enjoy the many wonderful shops in the Prudential Center and take the elevator to the Skywalk Observatory for a breathtaking view of the city of Boston and its surrounding cities. You then have another choice of attractions — take the “T” to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum which is close by the University of Massachusetts-Boston, or take the “T” over to the Harvard Museum of Natural Science.

As you can see — do, do come to Boston early and stay late, there are a multitude of exciting things to do and see as well as enjoying the best yet AMATYC conference all in Boston!
