There's so much more to Boston history than meets the eye! Venture out to Roxbury to explore the center of British power in colonial New England and come away with a firm grasp - much like the British handshake - of its continuing impact in American culture.
If you love awesome architecture and enjoy all-things-British, Shirley Place is a must-see destination. The Shirley-Eustis House is the lone survivor of the grand country houses that dominated Roxbury's landscape in the 18th century. Built in 1747-1751 as a summer estate, Governor Shirley also made a grand statement about the presence and authority of the British Empire in America by choosing the high Palladian style.
