Boston - Planning guide - Aug. 1-6, 2019 - ACA's Conference
Welcome to Boston

Boston is one of the oldest cities in the U.S. Its long and glorious history began on the Shawmut Peninsula, settled by the
Puritans in 1630, and is home of many key historical events: the American Revolution, the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of
Bunker Hill and Paul Revere’s midnight ride. As the capital of and largest city in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
Boston has been an important port and manufacturing hub, and it is the only contiguous states’ capital boasting an
oceanic coastline. Boston is sometimes called a “city of neighborhoods” — there are officially 23. Boston is well-known
for its institutions of learning, research, biotechnology and a culture that draws more than 20 million visitors a year from
all over the world. Boston was once the county seat of Suffolk County until less than 20 years ago, when Massachusetts
disbanded its county government, making the city of Boston the cultural anchor of the larger metro area, Greater Boston,
a huge commuting region home to 8.1 million people. This historic, energetic and very modern American city is graciously
set to welcome the American Correctional Association’s 149th Congress of Correction, to be held Aug. 1-6, 2019, at
the John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center in the Back Bay neighborhood. To keep your bearings, ACA
attendees and exhibitors will be housed in the middle of everything, with four official hotels located in the Back Bay and
Prudential neighborhoods, all connected by Boston’s expansive transportation system. It’s best to walk, but do not miss
the opportunity to ride in Boston’s historic trolley cars and enjoy some of the best New England restaurants around. Please
come join ACA this summer in another great American city!
