Boston: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Boston is a historic market town and port in Lincolnshire, England. Located on the River Witham, the town has a rich maritime heritage dating back to medieval times when it was one of England's most important ports. The town's name is believed to have derived from "St. Botolph's town," after a 7th-century monk who established a monastery here.

Boston's most notable landmark is St. Botolph's Church, known locally as "The Stump," which features one of the tallest medieval tower churches in England. The town maintains strong cultural connections to its medieval past through its architecture and museums, while also celebrating its historic links to the Puritan settlers who named their new American settlement after this Lincolnshire town. Boston's cultural landscape includes several heritage sites and museums that showcase its maritime history, medieval architecture, and agricultural heritage.
