There are more important colonial and early Revolutionary era landmarks and memorials in and around Boston than there are in most places throughout the country. Massachusetts in general was so fundamental to the early years of the nation though it can be difficult to imagine how this small New England state played such an amazing role. So many historic situations and events occurred in Boston and throughout the state that you could do a study of the history of Massachusetts and it would cover most of the important events in this country’s colonial days and national development.
