Clover’s own Kiernan wrote a book about all the obscure historic and artistic treasures in Boston. It’s called “Secret Boston: An Unusual Guide”, and <a href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/08/23/lifestyle/boston-hidden-secret-guide-tourist-guide-destinations-where-to-go/" title="https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/08/23/lifestyle/boston-hidden-secret-guide-tourist-guide-destinations-where-to-go/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">was written up in The Globe here.</a>On this walking tour led by Kiernan, you’ll visit a hidden alleyway paved with beautiful sculpted bricks that tell the story of the city’s history, debate where Alexander Graham Bell actually invented the telephone (2 sites claim the distinction!), see the last vestige of the grand home of the British Royal Governors when we were a colony, and pet a mysterious Italian donkey.First stop is the <a href="https://www.congregationallibrary.org/" title="https://www.congregationallibrary.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Congregational Library</a> (run by the modern-day heirs of the Pilgrims), where the archivist will show us special items from the collection, including Ben Franklin’s birth notice and a very special issue of Spiderman.Meet up at Clover DTX on School Street, where we'll fuel you up with lunch.
