Boston National Historical Park welcomes teachers, parents, students and all educators to explore the park’s wealth of resources. The major stories connected to the park’s resources include the stirrings of the American Revolution and the establishment of 174-year operation of one of the first U.S. Navy Shipyards. Our park resources and staff provide learning opportunities to explore these topics through this website, on-site education and public programs and professional development opportunities.
