I'm not sure if it's my previous ignorance or a lack of promotion but I've lived in and around Boston for a very long time and wasn't aware of this site. The Boston African American National Historic Site is located in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston, not far from Boston Common. The site is part of the Black Heritage Trail. It includes the 1806 African Meeting House which is the oldest standing black church in the United States. It also preserves several other original buildings from the 19th-century.
This will make for a nice family adventure when the weather warms up and we can get back outside.
