Boston Family Field Trip
October 9-12, 2026
Calling all history-loving families!
Nothing gives children an excitement for history like visiting the very places where it all happened. Add that to the experience of traveling with other families, and you've got the perfect recipe for a core childhood memory.
We're hosting a trip for families to Boston and Concord, Massachusetts on the weekend of October 9-12, 2026, and would love to have you and your whole family join us - moms, dads, kids, and grandparents alike.

We'll visit the Orchard House, home to author Louisa May Alcott, who wrote Little Women
Boston Tea Party

Freedom Trail
We'll tour the place where freedom was born - including the Old North Church
Paul Revere House
You'll get to tour one of the longest standing historical homes in all of Boston - the Revere house
Walden Pond
We'll stroll along the shores of Walden Pond where Henry David Thoreau once walked
Faneuil Hall
We'll visit the famous Faneuil Hall, a meeting house, which has been called "the cradle of liberty"
Concord
We'll have brunch in Concord's historical Colonial Inn and explore this charming town
