This started a controversy because she registered as "K.V. Switzer" to get a bib (#261) and did not clearly identify herself as a female on the race application. Realizing this, the race organizers tried unsuccessfully to remove her from the race. Throughout the race, photos show the race administrators attempting to grab her and remove her while she was running! Official Jock Semple famously tried to physically remove her during the race. After she finished the marathon, the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) changed its rules to ban women from competing against men. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62db227779f36e51d2786802/2252a0eb-8405-4c5b-a6fe-2aa1a7729f3d/Race+Times+by+Generation.png Boston Hidden Gems Blog - The Boston Marathon - Average Times by Generation (2025 Data) The most recent data from the 2025 race provides a clear snapshot of non-elite performance by age group: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62db227779f36e51d2786802/c63e6ed4-83c3-447b-897f-ed18eb6543f3/bob+hall.jpg Boston Hidden Gems Blog - The Boston Marathon - Vietnam veteran Eugene Roberts would be one of the many wheelchair division pioneers who raced without a bib or official race recognition. In 1970, Roberts finished unofficially in 7:07:00. In doing so, he laid the groundwork for changing the rules and the arbitrary physical boundaries in place for the marathon.

Though less well-known, it stands as one of Boston's earliest surviving brick buildings. This building is fascinating to see and is right on the Freedom Trail! Built in 1711 in the North End, the house is named after two former tenants: Moses Pierce, a glazier specializing in window and door glass installation, commissioned this Georgian-style home for himself and owned the property from 1711 to 1747. Nathaniel Hichborn, a boatbuilder and cousin of Paul Revere, became the owner of the house in 1781. The Hichborn family retained ownership until 1864. Between the 1850s and 1940s, residents occupied the upper floors while the ground floor served as commercial space for tailors, barbers, and hairdressers. The house has since been restored and preserved as a museum, offering visitors a glimpse into 18th- and 19th-century domestic life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62db227779f36e51d2786802/2e1e0d42-bdab-48ea-b573-91e13458e326/pers_r.revere+sq-Alexandria.jpg Boston Hidden Gems Blog - North Square: Where Boston's History Lives On - Make it stand out Rachel Revere Square https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62db227779f36e51d2786802/5eb292b2-4988-4e71-9047-3221a5e5999d/pers_mariners+house-Alexandria.jpg Boston Hidden Gems Blog - North Square: Where Boston's History Lives On - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62db227779f36e51d2786802/396526e7-6518-48b7-8eea-244c43de8956/north_end_map_plaque.JPG Boston Hidden Gems Blog - North Square: Where Boston's History Lives On - Make it stand out Overview of the North End Neighborhood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62db227779f36e51d2786802/c0c8f0a5-9acf-47fa-8579-0eee64a19809/pers_1798+panorama+Consitution+Ship-Alexandria.jpg Boston Hidden Gems Blog - North Square: Where Boston's History Lives On - Make it stand out Etching of the U.S.S.

Often overlooked by those passing by, these red boxes are still fully functional and hold a lot of history! The first fire alarm boxes were installed in 1852, over two decades before the first telephone patent. Boston became the first city in the world to use the telegraph as part of a municipal fire alarm warning system. To this day, the system uses simple telegraph signals to transmit the number of the fire box that was activated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62db227779f36e51d2786802/d9b7873e-9c2c-4680-905e-7fb756d525de/firebox_cooper.jpg Boston Hidden Gems Blog - Boston History: Fire Boxes The very first fire alarm box was used to send the alarm on the first day the boxes were installed in April of 1852. The very first fire box to be used can be found in the original location on Cooper Street in the North End today, although the box has been upgraded since its early days to a modernized version. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62db227779f36e51d2786802/4070dc6f-2483-4168-af38-2b2a877aa10e/firebox_cooper_upclose.jpg Boston Hidden Gems Blog - Boston History: Fire Boxes All fire alarm boxes have unique identification numbers. When the white lever is pulled, it sends an alarm to the Fire Alarm Office with the number of the box. The emergency responders who receive the alarm then look up the address of the box and send the closest available fire trucks to the spot. In December of 2018, the 911 system in Boston went down for a day due to a computer glitch. While police and medical personnel relied on using lesser known 10 digit numbers for incoming emergencies, the fire department just told citizens to use the fire boxes. They came in useful during the downtime, when a fire broke out in a laundromat in the North End and a resourceful citizen pulled the fire alarm!

"Little Italy") is known for its vibrant immigrant past. Dozens of nationalities passed through the North End in their journey to permanently settle in America. Many immigrants didn't speak English and many more couldn't read. However, your money was just as good regardless if you spoke English or not. Businesses in the North End opted to display what they were selling in more direct visual terms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62db227779f36e51d2786802/2e449abc-541d-4c50-8934-5c7cfac628f7/cutlery_with_number.jpg Boston Hidden Gems Blog - Boston’s Hidden Gems: North End “Translators” Embedded in the sidewalk of many businesses are cutlery, coins, combs, horseshoes, and more!

The tree was Boston's "first city hall" and had many uses. Here are some of the many events this piece of Boston history witnessed over the years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62db227779f36e51d2786802/5f009d2c-2b93-43d2-a7c5-9807f8e62010/Sons+of+Liberty.jpeg Boston Hidden Gems Blog - Boston History: The Great Elm The Sons of Liberty assembled below its branches during the American Revolution.

Public hangings continued in Boston Common until 1817. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62db227779f36e51d2786802/76056a73-c1d2-4001-a898-375475f58ade/great_elm_plaque.jpg Boston Hidden Gems Blog - Boston History: The Great Elm The Great Elm became a prominent landmark and meeting point as the area surrounding Boston Common became a more desirable residential neighborhood. Heavy winds during a storm toppled the Great Elm on February 15, 1876.

Smoot was used as a measuring stick for the length of the Harvard Bridge, which runs almost half a mile long across the Charles River. The bridge is marked with painted markings indicating how many "Smoots" there are from where the sidewalk begins on the Boston river bank. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62db227779f36e51d2786802/0441e587-9e90-4ad2-a1be-00b7cae3e69b/smoot_100.jpg Boston Hidden Gems Blog - Boston History: Smoot The marks are repainted each semester by the incoming associate member class. In recent years graduating classes have begun to paint a special mark for their graduating year. The markings are recognized as milestones on the bridge, to the degree that during bridge renovations in the 1980s, the Cambridge police department requested that the markings be restored, as they were routinely used in police reports to identify locations on the bridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62db227779f36e51d2786802/c627e737-6cc4-41f6-8c0d-f781dad75819/smoot_google_earth.JPG Boston Hidden Gems Blog - Boston History: Smoot In 2011, Google Earth enabled the ability to measure distance using Smoots, with the standard length of 5 feet 7 inches. MIT's student-run college radio station, WMBR, broadcasts at a wavelength of two Smoots (3.40 m), i.e. 88.1 MHz.

It wasn’t until 1659 that the town bought the land and laid out a cemetery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62db227779f36e51d2786802/426acf14-ae14-4a3d-848c-d529b31571e0/copps_hill_boston_tea_party.jpg Boston Hidden Gems Blog - Boston History: Copp’s Hill Burying Ground During the American Revolution, the burying ground's prominent location overlooking the harbor gave it strategic military importance.
