Mary Dyer was a Quaker who was hanged in Boston for her beliefs and because she gave birth to a deformed child. Her death could be considered a prequel to the Salem witch trials 30 years later. #TombTuesday #BostonHistory #FemaleMartyrs

They wanted that area to remain a nature preserve. After their deaths the City had no metaphoric road blocks stopping them, so obviously the road was built and in the ultimate F*** Y** the City named the road James Storrow Drive. #BostonHistory #Boston
