Boston is often hailed as the birthplace of American literature – a cultural hub of the mid-1800s that fostered some of the nation’s most iconic writers and thinkers. It is also home to the country’s first official Literary Cultural District, featuring landmarks tied to Louisa May Alcott, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allen Poe, and other famous authors, poets and thinkers. This walk (3 km) takes you past the traces of this rich cultural history.
This walk was carefully put together by Natalia Ivanytsky, author of The 500 Hidden Secrets of Boston. It is the perfect addition to this guide and will take you to hidden spots that most tourists never find.
The walk will be available for download as soon as your purchase is complete. The PDF file can be opened on mobile or printed.
