The Changing State of State Street
Nearly four hundred years of tranformation in the heart of Boston.
Across the nearly 400 years of its existence, Boston's State Street has undergone countless changes.
Established to connect the earliest puritan residences to the Boston Harbor, State Street now bustles with tourists, commuters, and office workers. Read on to explore how Bostonians have shaped the roadway and its neighboring buildings over time.
Today, we have the opportunity to shape the next century of changes on State Street to serve the many locals and visitors from around the world who use it.
