		Birthplace of John F. Kennedy: Home of the Boy Who Would Be President ^Votes:0 Birthplace of John F. Kennedy: Home of the Boy Who Would Be President (Photo by C.W. Stroughton, National Park Service) J ohn Fitzgerald Kennedy (JFK) was a man who made a difference. He was both the youngest man ever elected president of the United States and the first Roman Catholic to hold that office. Those qualities reinforced for many the belief that any American could become president. Although JFK was a member of an extraordinary American family of entrepreneurs, statesmen and civic leaders, he spent the first four years of his childhood in a modest home in Brookline, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. Brookline's lovely tree-lined streets, good schools, and space for children to play made it an attractive place to raise a family. It was there that Rose Kennedy and her husband Jose Read More Go to Site

		Saugus Iron Works: Life and Work at an Early American Industrial Site ^Votes:0 Saugus Iron Works: Life and Work at an Early American Industrial Site (Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site) T he landscape had changed. Over time, parts of the river had silted in; marsh grasses, purple loosestrife, and other vegetation tumbled over the watercourse where iron-laden vessels once sailed. But a slag pile remained, and the Saugus River continued its flow along a prescribed course.

In 1948 archeologists were given the opportunity to survey and excavate the site and concluded that the written records were correct. Now overgrown and urbanized, from 1646 until 1668, this was the site of the Saugus Iron Works. That discovery led to a careful, though partly conje Read More Go to Site

A soaring granite obelisk rises where once stood an earthen fortification. A fiveacre park with stone markers is all that remains of the ground that became a raging battlefield and the site of the first fullscale battle of the American Revolution.
