Boston is the capital of Massachusetts and the commercial, financial and cultural heart of the northeastern region and the higher education capital of the entire country. Boston is a name that many consider synonymous with American patriotism and independence. The city is home to the Boston Public Library, the Museum of Fine Arts, and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, as well as many historical museums and monuments that any US History buff would love! Boston can also claim many significant firsts. Boston Common became the first public park, and the first post office, free public school and public library were all founded in the city as well. As if that were not enough, the first newspaper, lighthouse, sewing machine, and subway all got their start in Boston. Did we mention that the city is beautiful? You cannot find a more fascinating place to study interior design.
