Jane Lindsey, former CGS president and past NEHGS Trustee, leads our biennial trip to Boston, Massachusetts. Accommodations are at the Boston Common Hotel and Conference Center in the Copley Square area of downtown Boston, located about three blocks from NEHGS.
The tour begins Monday morning with a brief orientation. Since the NEHGS library is closed on Monday, participants will have the option that day of visiting the Massachusettes State Archives, Suffolk or Middlesex County courthouses, Massachusettes Historical Society or Boston Public Library.
The Tour Package includes:
- Hotel room (7 nights, single occupancy)
- Monday morning orientation
- Free day Monday to visit your choice of several repositories or sight-see in Boston
- Tuesday orientation at NEHGS
- Daily continental breakfast
- Two group dinners (Monday and Saturday) at local restaurants
- Optional pre-trip consultations with Jane Lindsey
