With the nation\u2019s 250th birthday fast approaching, the newspaper dispatched a reporter to our fair city to determine how it stacks up, historically speaking, to Boston.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1660\">The historic Conkling-Armstrong House in North Philly is poised for affordable redevelopment<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The story revealed that \u2014 despite being primarily known for bad weather and baked beans \u2014 Boston apparently fancies itself a city with a robust and impressive history. In fact, some seemed to be of the opinion that Boston\u2019s Revolutionary history might even be <i>better<\/i> than Philadelphia\u2019s.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cAs the old saw goes,\u201d one Massachusetts historian told the paper, \u201cBoston did the hard work of making the Revolution, while Philadelphia did the paperwork.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Admittedly, this came as a bit of a surprise to us here at The Inquirer<i>. <\/i>What we had assumed is that when your city lays claim to the Liberty Bell, the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and a starring role in the 2004 Nicolas Cage film <i>National Treasure<\/i>, any debate over historical prominence is bound to be a little one-sided.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Having myself once lived in Boston, I, too, was a bit miffed, as it had always been my understanding that the city\u2019s history amounted to little more than drunken shenanigans and historical fan-fiction \u2014 a bizarre collection of half-truths and falsehoods.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>But like the Founding Fathers themselves (at least five of whom are buried at Philadelphia\u2019s Christ Church, though who\u2019s counting?), I remain open to new ideas.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>And so I set off recently for that little New England burg to the north, eager to experience firsthand the rich and vibrant history that we Philadelphians had apparently been missing out on.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>A trail of freedom and fabrication<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>It was mid-June when I arrived in Boston, which meant that winter would be wrapping up in just a few short weeks, and the city was abuzz.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Hollywood might have you believe that Boston is a grim, gray place where residents spend all their time robbing banks and inquiring about one another\u2019s fondness for fruit, but in truth, the city is a lively hub of art, education, technology, and \u2014 as I\u2019d recently learned \u2014 history.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>And how better to delve into that history than by joining a walking tour of Boston\u2019s famed Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile path featuring several of the city\u2019s most significant historical landmarks?<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>As a dozen or so of us set off with our guide, Kenneth \u2014 a friendly fellow dressed in authentic Revolutionary garb consisting of a polo shirt that said \u201cBoston History Company\u201d \u2014 it was hard not to feel a swell of patriotic pride.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>What quickly became apparent, however, is that \u2014 when it comes to its history \u2014 Boston has spent the past 250 years playing a little loose and fast with the facts. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Take Paul Revere, arguably the city\u2019s best-known historical figure.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>You might recall Revere from his famous \u201cmidnight ride,\u201d detailed in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow\u2019s iconic poem, during which Revere successfully alerts fellow colonists of a coming British invasion.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>In reality, Kenneth explained, Revere had pulled on his boots, set off on horseback into the New England night \u2014 and been promptly captured by British soldiers.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>In fact, of the three riders sent out that night, our guide said, Revere was the only one who\u2019d failed to complete the mission.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>There was also the matter of the city\u2019s most famous Revolutionary battle, the Battle of Bunker Hill \u2014 namely, that it was fought not on Bunker Hill but at a completely different location, called Breed\u2019s Hill. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Rather than correct the record, Boston in 1843 built a massive 221-foot monument atop Breed\u2019s Hill, labeled it \u201cThe Bunker Hill Monument,\u201d and marketed it as a major civic attraction \u2014 though, luckily, there was a perfectly reasonable explanation for this bit of misdirection: <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201c[Bunker Hill\u2019s] got the better name,\u201d Kenneth explained. \u201cSo that\u2019s what we went with.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>But a city\u2019s history, of course, is about more than just names and dates and stories \u2014 it\u2019s about monetizing those stories through a carefully curated local tourism industry. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>The tourist experience <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Proponents will tell you that, much like Philadelphia, Boston has done a terrific job preserving the city\u2019s historical aesthetic, and this certainly seemed to be the case.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>For instance, if you ignored the Chipotle, the CVS, the Walgreens, the Sweetgreen, the TJ Maxx, the Shake Shack, the cell phone repair shop, the Falafel King, and the 47 or so Dunkin\u2019 locations lining the Freedom Trail, it was pretty much impossible not to feel like you\u2019d been transported right back to the 1700s.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The crown jewel of the city\u2019s historical district is the bustling Faneuil Hall Markeplace \u2014 which once served as a prominent meetinghouse for the Sons of Liberty and today is a very good place to get, say, a $23 bowl of chowder and a key chain with a shamrock on it. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Like Philadelphia\u2019s Independence Hall, which remains a meticulously maintained ode to Philadelphia\u2019s Revolutionary history, Boston\u2019s Faneuil Hall \u2014 and nearby Quincy Market \u2014 is also a site that shows great reverence to the city\u2019s past. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>For instance, when you walk past the Sephora and take a left at Jimmy Buffett\u2019s Margaritaville \u2014 if you reach the Sunglass Hut, you\u2019ve gone too far \u2014 you will eventually arrive at a small shop selling tasteful tributes to the city\u2019s storied history, such as: <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>A T-shirt featuring three cartoon men in wigs, chugging beers below the words, \u201cThe \u2018Pounding\u2019 Fathers.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>A T-shirt featuring an image of Benjamin Franklin wearing sunglasses and holding a red Solo cup, along with the words, \u201cBen Dranklin.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Despite such thoughtful offerings, it turns out that Boston\u2019s quest to attract history-focused tourists in the lead-up to America\u2019s 250th birthday hasn\u2019t always been easy. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cPhiladelphia\u2019s been cleaning our clock in terms of getting people to come to Philadelphia to see history,\u201d says Robert Allison, president of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts and co-chair of Revolution 250, a consortium of New England organizations dedicated to honoring the nation\u2019s Semiquincentennial. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>But back to Ben Dranklin for a moment&#8230;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>The Franklin conundrum <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>One issue that tends to get a little sticky between Boston and Philly is which city possesses a stronger claim to Benjamin Franklin, the wacky, kite-flying Founding Father. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1658\">\ud83d\udcf5 HOA group chat drama | Morning Newsletter<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Franklin\u2019s story is a tale as old as time: Child is born in a small town (Boston), longs for something more, and, as a teen, eventually works up the courage to set off for the big city (Philadelphia), whereby, suddenly surrounded by other brilliant minds, he blossoms.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Despite this, Bostonians have struggled to relinquish their ties to Franklin, whose name and likeness are plastered across the city. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>One afternoon, for instance, I found myself at the Mount Auburn Cemetery in nearby Cambridge, staring up at an enormous monument marking Franklin\u2019s burial spot.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>This was notable only in the sense that Franklin is very much buried 300 miles away, at the Christ Church Burial Ground in Philadelphia. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>During our tour, Kenneth, the guide, had shared an improbable story. Apparently, an eccentric rich man named Thomas Dowse \u2014 in an effort to get more people to visit Dowse\u2019s own grave site \u2014 had arranged to have a false burial monument to Franklin constructed nearby.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cA psych-out,\u201d Kenneth called it. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Certain Kenneth must be mistaken \u2014 that not even in Massachusetts could someone be so arrogant and status-obsessed as to erect a fake burial monument \u2014 I called the cemetery in question and sheepishly recounted the story I\u2019d heard<i>.<\/i><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s absolutely true,\u201d replied Meg Winslow, the senior curator of historical collections and archives at Mount Auburn \u2014 and a Philly native. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s pretty big,\u201d she added of the monument. \u201cIn the cemetery world, we call it a \u2018cenotaph\u2019 \u2014 which is a memorial without a body.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>As my first day in Boston drew to a close, I tried to take stock of what I\u2019d learned. In truth, after 24 hours in the city, I\u2019d yet to uncover the kind of historical magic I\u2019d hoped to find. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>But maybe, I realized, I\u2019d been setting my sights too narrow. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>To fully appreciate the local history, maybe I needed to go a bit further back in time.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Plymouth Crock<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The next morning, I awoke early and \u2014 with a renewed sense of optimism \u2014 headed south on I-93, toward the one historical landmark that was guaranteed to impress: Plymouth Rock.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Like every American child, I\u2019d grown up learning about this vaunted slab of stone \u2014 the very rock where the Mayflower Pilgrims had made landfall back in 1620.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Today, the rock is featured in a prominent seaside park 30 miles outside of Boston, and though some Yelp reviews have been lukewarm \u2014 \u201cThis rock is smaller than my dog\u2019s bed.\u201d &#8230; \u201cHow can a rock be so famous and [yet] such a let down at the same time?\u201d &#8230; \u201cI am so glad I am dying of a terminal disease so I don\u2019t have to ever visit here again.\u201d \u2014 I was not going to let a few naysayers dampen my spirit.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>While it\u2019s true that the rock is on the smaller side, and that the vast majority of tourists who\u2019d made the pilgrimage did not immediately appear blown away (\u201cCorny-ass rock,\u201d grumbled one teenager in headphones), none of that took away from the rock\u2019s significance \u2014 or the sense of awe I felt while gazing upon it.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>This \u2014 right here in front of me \u2014 was the <i>actual<\/i> <i>rock<\/i> that the Pilgrims first set foot upon when they disembarked from the Mayflower more than 400 years ago.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cActually, that\u2019s a little bit of a myth,\u201d explained a nearby park ranger, a skinny fellow with a wily white beard. \u201cThey arrived in winter, so there was snow and ice. No one\u2019s stepping onto rocks with snow and ice.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>OK. But still: This \u2014 right here in front of me \u2014 was the <i>very<\/i> <i>spot<\/i> where the Mayflower had come ashore&#8230;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe Mayflower didn\u2019t come in,\u201d corrected the ranger. \u201cIt was anchored a mile and a half out. A smaller vessel came in.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Fine. But what was indisputable was that the town of Plymouth \u2014 the town in which I now stood, the town that has staked its entire identity to Plymouth Rock \u2014 was absolutely, positively the <i>very<\/i> <i>first place <\/i>the Mayflower Pilgrims landed when they arrived&#8230;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>I looked at the ranger.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThey stopped first at the tip of [Cape Cod],\u201d he said, \u201cin a place called Provincetown.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>The verdict<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Back in Boston later that day, it was hard not to feel a bit dejected.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>I\u2019d arrived in the city two days earlier with high hopes and an open mind, ready to immerse myself in its (WHAT) history; now, it seemed I\u2019d be leaving with little more than some blisters and moderate-to-severe sun damage. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>On my last afternoon in town, I was wandering glumly through the city\u2019s streets, wondering if the trip had been for naught, when I stumbled upon an old business. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><i>The Bell In Hand Tavern<\/i>, a sign out front read. <i>Oldest Tavern in America<\/i>.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>I walked in and took a seat at the bar. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Maybe it was the cool breeze flowing in from the open windows. Maybe it was the middle-aged finance guys flirting unsuccessfully with their server at a nearby table. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>But sitting there, in the oldest tavern in America \u2014 trying to decide, like so many great patriots before me, between the loaded nachos and the steak-and-cheese spring rolls \u2014 I suddenly realized that I\u2019d been looking at things all wrong.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>In the end, history isn\u2019t some gaudy competition. We all play a role in this great nation. Sometimes, as in the case of Philadelphia, that role includes having the Liberty Bell, the U.S. Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and being the literal birthplace of democracy. And sometimes, as in the case of Boston, it means erecting fake burial monuments and celebrating small rocks of dubious historical significance.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Does that make one city \u201cbetter\u201d than the other? <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Yes. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Obviously. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>But the point is, it <i>all<\/i> matters. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>For the first time since my arrival, I felt a pang of appreciation for this scrappy New England city, with itscute little history tours andincorrectly placed monuments. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>And though my train back to Philadelphia would soon be departing, I was overcome by the urge to mark this moment in the only way that seemed right. <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cExcuse me,\u201d I called to the bartender, brimming with a newfound sense of patriotism. \u201cI\u2019ll have a Samuel Adams lager.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1656\">Haverford parents are worried about chatbots in classrooms after a vote to buy AI tools<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately,\u201d came the reply, \u201cwe\u2019re out.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An objective and scientific look at the historical &quot;rivalry&quot; between two great American cities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1661,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Boston thinks its Revolutionary history might be better than Philly\u2019s.
