Yes, it did begin in Boston...

The Old South Meeting House, located on the Freedom Trail,  was where the citizens of Boston gathered for large meetings in the 1700's. The meeting house was the largest building in Boston at the time. There, large protests would take place between the Patriots and Loyalists to protest and show support for the British government.

On December 16, 1773, over 5000 people gathered at the meeting house to protest the taxation of tea. Many, led by the Sons of Liberty, wanted 3 tea ships docked in Boston harbor to return to England without unloading their tea. The governor of Boston had demanded that their cargo be unloaded. The protesters eventually left the meeting house and proceeded down to the harbor where they dumped the tea into the water. This event became known as the Boston Tea Party.

The British Parliament responded with a series of acts called the Intolerable Acts to punish the colonists. This further escalated tensions which eventually led to the American Revolution just over a year later.

If you're in Boston, be sure to check out the Old South Meeting House located right downtown, not far from Boston Common. And, if you're using the Duckwyn app, be sure to checkin and get your stamp.

The Park Street Church was a beacon to sailors delivering their goods to Boston. The spire of the church, inspired by architect Christopher Wren, reached 217 feet into the air welcoming travelers to the city. The Park Street Church remained the tallest building in Boston until 1867 when the Church of the Covenant surpassed it by 19 feet.

Today, the Park Street Church is still an active congregation. It can no longer be seen from Boston Harbor but it still keeps its strong presence in the city as a stop along the Freedom Trail.

Julius Caesar rose to power after his victories in the Gallic Wars and Caesar's Civil War. He's one of the most famous politicians during the reign of the Roman Republic and Roman Empire. He has now been added to the app.

​If you're traveling through Rome, you can find his card near the Temple of Caesar (Temple of Divus Iulius). The temple is located northwest of the Colosseum, past the Arco di Tito, in a section of Rome with several ancient structures you can explore.
