Did you know that the Boston Common (1634) is the oldest city park in the USA?  Its now “only” 50 acres and was purchased from William Blaxton by the Massachusetts Bay Colony for cow pasture; they were banned in 1830 by Mayor Otis!  It is the site from where the Red Coats started their march to Lexington & Concord.  Its famous iron fences were completed in 1836.
