PARTNERSHIP OF THE HISTORIC BOSTONS

The mission of the Partnership of the Historic Bostons, Inc. is twofold: to foster public understanding of the contributions of the 17th-century founders of Boston and the Massachusetts Bay Colony whose enduring legacies shaped the principles upon which the United States of America was established; and to preserve the historical links with Boston, Lincolnshire, England, for which our Boston was named.                                            ........approved January 16, 2009

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.
