Trail Map


A s Americans, our history is full of journeys and each journey has a story to tell and a lesson to be learned. People have come to the greater Boston area for hundreds of years and for a variety of reasons. Many have come of their own initiative seeking freedom or opportunity. Some have been forced to come here or forced to leave by the will of others. And some have just passed through as they searched for their journey’s end. The Museums along the American Journeys Trail feature the stories of the people of the greater Boston area, from those that came long ago to the immigrants who’s journeys have brought them here today.
