From Dave "Jebediah" Brigham:
I suppose it's impossible to find all of the worthwhile hidden history in Boston, but I'm trying.
("SITE OF THE FIRST MEETING HOUSE IN BOSTON BUILT A.D. 1632 / PREACHERS JOHN WILSON JOHN ELIOT JOHN COTTON / USED BEFORE 1640 FOR TOWN MEETINGS AND FOR SESSIONS OF THE GENERAL COURT FOR THE COLONY" -- Seen along Devonshire Street, across from the Old State house.)
("THE SITE OF THE BUNCH OF GRAPES TAVERN / HERE ON 30TH JULY 1733 WAS INSTITUTED FROM CHARTER FROM THE GRAND LODGE OF ENGLAND THE FIRST REGULARLY CONSTITUTED LODGE OF FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS IN AMERICA / NOW ST. JOHNS LODGE OF BOSTON / HERE IN 1786 WAS ORGANIZED THE OHIO COMPANY PIONEER IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GREAT WEST UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF GENERAL RUFUS PUTNAM / FIRST TOWNSHIP LAID OUT AT MARIETTA OHIO / THIS TABLET PLACED BY THE CITY OF BOSTON 30TH OF JULY 1935" -- Seen along State Street.)
