National Parks of Boston

National Parks of Boston

The National Parks of Boston is a constellation of three unique National Park Service sites - Boston National Historical Park, Boston African American National Historic Site, and Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park. The National Parks of Boston works in partnership to preserve the resources associated with each site, provide meaningful place-based teaching and learning experiences, and engage our communities to encourage them to act as stewards for the future of their parks.

Life in the Yard

In partnership with the USS Constitution Museum, students explore the three groups of people who lived and worked in the Charlestown Navy Yard over its nearly 200 year operation.

Poetry in Place

Students will explore the sites and stories associated with the historic abolitionist community of Beacon Hill’s North Slope through three distinct activities.

Sarah Roberts

On a walk following in the footsteps of Sarah Roberts, students will explore the Black Heritage Trail and learn about the struggle for equal education through the eyes of a fellow Boston student.
