In 1630, Boston, Lincolnshire provided Boston, Massachusetts with its name and 10% of its population. In 1999, a partnership was established to celebrate and promote the unique and important historical connections existing between Boston, Lincolnshire and Boston, Massachusetts. Our Partnership was approved in Lincolnshire by the Boston Borough Council in February 1999 and was endorsed by Mayor Thomas Menino of Boston, Massachusetts in October 1999.
Our Partnership is a non-political/non-profit organization. Our mission is to enrich the lives of those in the Greater Boston Area (and USA) by creating and presenting educational and cultural programs and events to develop a greater understanding and appreciation of the common, enduring legacies of the two Bostons. We plan, initiate and complete projects that support our Partnership's objectives.

OBJECTIVES of the PARTNERSHIP:

We are supported by gifts from individuals; grants from corporations, foundations and trusts; and donations from participants at specially arranged events. |
