What To Expect
Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Regiment Memorial
This bronze relief sculpture recognizes Colonel Robert Gould Shaw and the Massachusetts 54th Regiment, one of the first African-American units in the Union Army during the Civil War. Sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens completed the memorial in 1897.
Massachusetts State House
Opened in 1798, the Massachusetts State House is one of the oldest state houses still in continuous use. Boston's Charles Bulfinch designed the original brick structure, which is considered one of the best examples of Federal-style architecture in the United States. Within the state house, guided and self-guided tours pass stately rooms, murals depicting famous events of the American Revolution, and the Sacred Cod.
