About
Boston
The Women2Women
conference is being held in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston.
Boston is one of the
oldest, wealthiest and most culturally significant
cities in the United States.
The city has also
played a significant role throughout American
history. In fact, America’s history comes alive as
you travel through the streets of Boston. From the
historic Freedom Trail and Old North Church to the
site of the Boston Tea Party and Faneuil Hall,
history is one of the main reasons people visit
Boston.
You’ll find many
American "Firsts" in Boston: the first public
school, the first college, the first public
library, the first public garden and the first
subway system.
The greater Boston area
is home to a number of famous institutions of
higher learning including Harvard University,
Boston University, and Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
When visiting the city,
its impossible to overlook its world-class museums,
theatres, sports teams, and dining. And yes,
Boston’s seasonal and ever-changing weather is hard
to overlook (or predict) as well.
Boston’s nicknames
include "City on a Hill", "The Hub", and
"Beantown".
