Let's Visit Castle Island (South Boston, MA)
After visiting the Blue Hills, I head into the Boston area to Castle Island, a park along the Boston Harbor just east of South Boston. The park contains a sidewalk which goes along the perimeter, a playground, a restaurant, and Fort Independence (mainly open on weekends during the summer months). From the park, you can also see the Blue Hills, downtown Boston, and Logan International Airport.

Located on Castle Island, Fort Independence is one of the oldest continuously fortified sites of English origin in the United States.The first primitive fortification, called The Castle, was placed on the site in 1634 and, after two re-buildings, replaced circa 1692 with a more substantial structure known as Castle William.Re-built after it was abandoned by the British during the American Revolution, Castle William was renamed Fort Adams and then Fort Independence. The existing granite fort was constructed between 1833 and 1851. Today it is preserved as a state park and fires occasional ceremonial salutes.

Military History of the Boston Harbor Islands
Historian and author Jayne Triber draws on her research and experiences working at Fort Independence on Castle Island in South Boston and at the Boston Harbor Islands national park area to review the dramatic, colorful, and military history of these hidden treasures.
For over 350 years, the Boston Harbor Islands have played an important role in the defense of Boston, Massachusetts and the United States. From the colonial period to the Cold War, the Harbor Islands have been the site of fortifications, training camps, prisoner-of-war camps, and Nike missile installations.

Boston is Massachusetts’ capital and largest city. Founded in 1630, it’s one of the oldest cities in the U.S. The key role it played in the American Revolution is highlighted on the Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile walking route of historic sites that tells the story of the nation’s founding. One stop, former meeting house Faneuil Hall, is a popular marketplace.
Boston's history recalls revolution and transformation, and today it is still among the country’s most forward-thinking and barrier-breaking cities. The arts have thrived in Boston ever since the 19th century, when this cultural capital was dubbed the Athens of America. Certainly, the intellectual elite appreciated their fine paintings and classical music, but they were also dedicated to spreading the cultural wealth, establishing museums, libraries and symphony orchestras for all to enjoy.
'Fanatic' is no idle word here. Boston fans are passionate about sports. And with the five-time world-champion Patriots, the long-overdue World Series–winning Red Sox, the winningest basketball team in history, the Celtics, and the highly successful and historic hockey team, the Bruins, there is a lot to be passionate about. Boston's college teams also inspire fierce loyalties and staunch rivalries. No less spirited is the country's oldest and most celebrated running event, the world-famous Boston Marathon, and the world's largest two-day rowing event, the Head of the Charles Regatta.
For all intents and purposes, Boston is the oldest city in America. And you can hardly walk a step over its cobblestone streets without running into some historic site. The Freedom Trail winds its way around the city, connecting 16 historically significant sites. These are the very places where history unfolded: from the first public school in America to Boston’s oldest church building to sites linked to America's fight for independence from Britain – Boston is, in effect, one fantastic outdoor history museum.
Boston is surrounded by the Greater Boston region and is contiguously bordered by the cities and towns of Winthrop, Revere, Chelsea, Everett, Somerville, Cambridge, Watertown, Newton, Brookline, Needham, Dedham, Canton, Milton, and Quincy. The Charles River separates Boston from Watertown and the majority of Cambridge, and the mass of Boston from its own Charlestown neighborhood. To the east lie Boston Harbor and the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area (which includes part of the city's territory, specifically Calf Island, Gallops Island, Great Brewster Island, Green Island, Little Brewster Island, Little Calf Island, Long Island, Lovells Island, Middle Brewster Island, Nixes Mate, Outer Brewster Island, Rainsford Island, Shag Rocks, Spectacle Island, The Graves, and Thompson Island). The Neponset River forms the boundary between Boston's southern neighborhoods and the city of Quincy and the town of Milton. The Mystic River separates Charlestown from Chelsea and Everett, and Chelsea Creek and Boston Harbor separate East Boston from Boston proper.

Форт Независимости является восьмым по счету фортификационным сооружением, сооруженным за все время существования на этом месте укреплений. Тот, кто владел этим сооружением, был хозяином и всего побережья. История форта берет свои истоки с 1634 года, когда была построена первая крепость. Это произошло спустя 15 лет с момента появления здесь первых поселенцев. Имея такое важное стратегическое значение, форт был неоднократно разрушен, после чего снова восстанавливался. Годами его возведения считается период с 1834 по 1851 годы.
Форт довольно часто служил в качестве тюрьмы. Среди известных заключенных был Пьер Мэсонна дит Баптист, которого тут содержали с 1702 до 1706 года.

Castle William
The site of Fort Independence has been occupied by various fortifications since 1634. The first fort to be constructed on Castle Island resulted from a visit by Governor John Winthrop; it was partly financed by him and the council. Construction was planned and supervised by Deputy Gov. Roger Ludlow and Captain John Mason of Dorchester, producing a castle with mud walls with masonry of oyster shell lime, in which cannon were mounted to defend the colonial town of Boston from attack by sea.
The Huge Mystery Of Burnt Hill ~ Massachusetts
By request. Standing stones or stone circles in the U.S.? My viewers leave the first opinions on you tube about a pretty mysterious site near Heath, Massachusetts. The first video on this very mysterious site. On top of the hill it is described as a perfect view of the canopy of stars. Is this one of the most ancient places in the U.S.? Located now where blueberries are grown.
A favorite (unconfirmed) local legend about the stones is that H.P. Lovecraft drew inspiration from them in modelling the Sentinel Hill of his famous story “The Dunwich Horror.” The opening chapter of the tale includes a reference to “great rings of rough-hewn stone columns on the hilltops more generally attributed to the Indians than to the settlers.”

Wingaersheek Beach is a 0.6-mile long beach located on the Annisquam River in West Gloucester, Massachusetts, USA. According to the USGS the name is a corruption of the earlier Dutch name Wyngaerts Hoeck, which was derived from Wyngaerton. Wikipedia
