They are all National Historic Landmarks located in Boston. In fact, the city boasts more National Historic Landmarks per square mile than any other major city in the country. Given Boston's long history and record of accomplishments, it's really not surprising that 57 properties—from the nation's oldest subway tunnel to a floating lighthouse—have received this designation. Add in the adjoining cities of Cambridge and Brookline and the number swells. Historic Boston includes the most rewarding and easily visited landmarks. That's a lot of history in 103 square miles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Secretary of the Interior designates the status of National Historic Landmark to places considered “exceptional because of their abilities to illustrate U.S. heritage.” More simply put, they are the places that resonate broadly with us, that we cherish, and want to pass on to future generations. The list is surprisingly diverse. In metro Boston, it includes an historic church with a stunning collection of Tiffany windows, a Transcendentalist community, a Grand Banks schooner, and the home and studio of landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Globe Pequot Publishing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 9781493057900\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Softcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePage Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 216\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pagecount ng-binding\"\u003e Pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e August 2021\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pubdate ng-binding\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50958805336321,"sku":"mue1793021019729","price":12.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/1979\/5201\/files\/bostons-historic-hub_1.jpg?v=1793021024","url":"https:\/\/www.juniperavenue.shop\/products\/bostons-historic-hub","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
