The Innovation Trail offers a unique way to experience, learn about, and be inspired by four centuries of groundbreaking innovations that originated in Boston. Whether you join one of our scheduled walking tours or use our website as a guide for your own stroll, you'll explore the rich history of science, medicine, entrepreneurship, and technology that has shaped the modern world. Our aim is to inspire you to create the next great innovation!What to Expect: When people think of Boston, they often think of the American Revolution or its prestigious educational institutions like MIT, Harvard, and Northeastern. While the Freedom Trail highlights the city’s revolutionary past, The Innovation Trail focuses on the remarkable advancements that followed America's independence and the establishment of early schools like Boston Latin (1635) and Harvard (1636). Boston’s legacy of innovation was built on a foundation of independence and education, bolstered by societal changes such as the abolition of slavery, women’s suffrage, waves of immigration, and marriage equality. These factors allowed a diverse group of people to collaborate on research and company formation, funded by investors, universities, and government agencies. This thriving innovation ecosystem has significantly contributed to shaping our modern world.Who Should Visit:
