Boston’s Changing Waterfront uses the free app historypin lets you experience first-hand the transformation of this area of Boston since the 1800s.
By standing where the photographers did, you can look right through their historical photos to see and read about how our city has changed over time! It’s a fun way to rediscover Boston’s waterfront!
