Citizens of Boston purchased the land for Bostom Common almost 400 years ago. – photo by Joe AlexanderBoston Common is one of the best known city parks in the world and is older than the United States.
Citizens of Boston purchased the land in 1634 for the purpose of having a shared area to graze cattle.
I’m guessing the days of cattle grazing on the Common are long gone, I least I didn’t see any.
A few of the trees were showing their autumn colors during my recent visit in the first week of November.
