of world-changing breakthroughs from Boston. Join one of our scheduled walking tours, or use this website to guide you on your own stroll through the history of science, medicine, entrepreneurship, and technology. We want the Trail to inspire you to create the next great innovation!</p> <a href="#overview-intro" id="overview-more-button" class="overview-more-button"></a> </div> <div class="overview-more core"> <div class="more-text"> <p><a href="https://www.theinnovationtrail.org/take-a-tour" target="_blank">Take a Tour</a></p> <h3>Changing perceptions.</h3> <p>When most people think of Boston, they think about the American Revolution—or higher education. They might walk the Freedom Trail starting in Downtown Boston, and visit places linked to the start of the Revolution. Or they might be touring colleges, or attending events, at schools like MIT, Harvard, and Northeastern.</p> <p>The Innovation Trail focuses primarily on what happened after America became an independent nation, and after some of Boston’s early schools like Boston Latin (founded in 1635) and Harvard (founded in 1636) were established. Independence and access to education began to build a foundation for innovation—as did societal changes like the abolition of slavery, women’s suffrage, waves of immigration, and marriage equality—allowing a diverse group of people to collaborate on research and company formation. Add in a desire to make the world better, and money from investors, universities, and government agencies to set up labs and run experiments—and voila, you get a thriving innovation ecosystem that has helped shape the modern world.</p> <h3>Who it’s for.</h3> <p>Visitors, residents, students, and teachers who want to understand more about Boston’s legacy of world-changing innovation.</p> <h3>What they’re saying.</h3> <p>Boston Magazine’s 2023 Best of Boston issue named The Innovation Trail the city’s “Best Walking Tour.” Yankee Magazine listed The Trail in its 2024 Best of Massachusetts feature. The Trail has also been covered by WBUR Radio Boston, GBH Boston Public Radio, NBC Boston, and the Boston Globe. The Trail is rated ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ on Google and TripAdvisor by those who have experienced it.</p> <h3>What’s next.</h3> <p>We’re working on a slate of events, tours, and education-related initiatives for 2024… raising money… and continuing to build awareness of the Trail.

Lewis Latimer had little access to formal education, but after serving several years on a Union gunship during the Civil War—he joined at age 15—he got hired by the patent firm here at a salary of $3 per week, and taught himself how to draft intricate and detailed mechanical drawings. He rose to become head draftsman at the firm. Latimer helped the inventor of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell, create the drawings used for the telephone’s first patent filing, and later, he worked with other inventors, including Hiram Maxim and Thomas Edison, to extend the useful life of the light bulb from minutes to hours and make it easier to manufacture, filing several patents of his own. By the end of Latimer’s career, he was a member of the Edison Pioneers, a small group of people who had worked closely with Edison in the early stages of his career. He was the only Black person in that group.</p> </li> <li class="site-more-featured"> <figure data-orientation="landscape"> <picture class=""> <source type="image/webp" data-srcset="https://www.theinnovationtrail.org/media/pages/sites/patent-pioneer/eade10e631-1651806820/patent-pioneer-640x-q80.webp" media="(min-width: 768px)"/> <source type="image/jpg" data-srcset="https://www.theinnovationtrail.org/media/pages/sites/patent-pioneer/eade10e631-1651806820/patent-pioneer-640x-q80.jpg" media="(min-width: 768px)"/> <img loading="lazy" class="lazy" data-src="https://www.theinnovationtrail.org/media/pages/sites/patent-pioneer/eade10e631-1651806820/patent-pioneer-640x-q80.jpg" alt="" width="727" height="505" /> </picture> <figcaption> Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons (left) Alexander Graham Bell, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons (right) </figcaption> </figure> </li> <li class="site-more"> <p>On your way to the next stop, see if you can spot a statue of Ben Franklin, the prolific inventor and signer of the Declaration of Independence.

They set up a film processing lab in a railroad car, hitched it to a train, and sent it to Jacksonville, Florida, to shoot the first Technicolor film, “The Gulf Between.” It was shown for the first time here in 1917, and shortly after in New York—mainly to try to interest movie producers and theater owners in the idea of color movies. As the movie industry gravitated to Los Angeles, Technicolor followed it, leaving Boston behind. While you would have been among the first people to see a color movie if you were here in 1917, it wasn’t until 1939—the year that “Gone with the Wind” and “The Wizard of Oz” were made—that Technicolor convinced the movie industry that color was here to stay.</p> </li> <li class="site-more-featured"> <figure data-orientation="landscape"> <picture class=""> <source type="image/webp" data-srcset="https://www.theinnovationtrail.org/media/pages/sites/technicolor-movies/d0719f7d16-1651806820/bradford-technicolor-process1-1990-5036-12446-jd-jk-img-0307-2022-04-04-640x-q80.webp" media="(min-width: 768px)"/> <source type="image/jpg" data-srcset="https://www.theinnovationtrail.org/media/pages/sites/technicolor-movies/d0719f7d16-1651806820/bradford-technicolor-process1-1990-5036-12446-jd-jk-img-0307-2022-04-04-640x-q80.jpg" media="(min-width: 768px)"/> <img loading="lazy" class="lazy" data-src="https://www.theinnovationtrail.org/media/pages/sites/technicolor-movies/d0719f7d16-1651806820/bradford-technicolor-process1-1990-5036-12446-jd-jk-img-0307-2022-04-04-640x-q80.jpg" alt="" width="575" height="478" /> </picture> <figcaption> Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons </figcaption> </figure> </li> <li class="site-more"> <p>On the way to your next stop is the Omni Parker House Hotel, where both Boston Creme Pies and Parker House Rolls were invented.</p> </li> <li class="site-more"> <figure data-aspect="16/9"> <iframe allow="fullscreen" allowfullscreen class="lazy" src="" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mqaobr6w6_I?controls=0"></iframe> </figure> </li> </ul>  <div class="site-more" style="display: block;">  <footer class="site-more-footer">   <div class="site-question" data-statement="" data-question="<p>Have you ever seen a black and white movie?

But he eventually succeeded and became known as “The Ice King.” He died in 1864 in his home on Beacon Hill, and is buried in the back right corner of this cemetery. Look for a small, faded tombstone that says John Tudor, and an explanatory sign nearby.</p> </li> <li class="site-more"> <figure data-aspect="16/9"> <iframe allow="fullscreen" allowfullscreen class="lazy" src="" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LBMfVEm4nFY?controls=0"></iframe> </figure> </li> </ul>  <div class="site-more" style="display: block;">  <footer class="site-more-footer">   <div class="site-question" data-statement="" data-question="<p>Are you a fan of ice in your drinks—or do you go without?

Onesmus was born in the late 1600s, and lived in Mather’s household in the early 1700s. One of the most feared diseases of the time was smallpox, which killed about 30 percent of the people who got it, and left many of the survivors with severe scars—pockmarks—on their faces. Onesimus explained to Mather that in Africa, he had been inoculated against smallpox. His arm was cut open, a small amount of material from a person infected with smallpox was inserted into the wound.</p> </li> <li class="site-more-featured"> <figure data-aspect="16/9"> <iframe allow="fullscreen" allowfullscreen class="lazy" src="" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wuCxjIioAu0?controls=0"></iframe> </figure> </li> <li class="site-more"> <p>Though Mather tried to promote the idea of inoculation as a smallpox epidemic gripped Boston in 1721, people at the time were skeptical of a medical procedure that seemed to be based on African customs. (At one point, someone hostile to the idea threw a small bomb through Mather’s window—which luckily failed to explode.) But Mather and a doctor who lived near present-day Government Center, Zabdiel Boylston, gathered data about the survival rates of those Bostonians who were inoculated. In the 1721 smallpox outbreak, only two percent of inoculated people died, compared to almost 15 percent of those who had not been inoculated. This was one of the earliest clinical trials on record in the US, using experimental and control groups to illustrate the effectiveness of inoculation.

Elected officials didn’t want to make vote counting faster, because then there was less time to convince their fellow legislators to change their votes. After that, Edison resolved that he would only invent things that people wanted.</p><p>But a Boston University professor named Alexander Graham Bell invented something pretty successful here: the telephone. Williams liked the invention, and had the first two telephones installed in his shop and his home in Somerville three miles away (which is still standing, at 1 Arlington Street, Somerville.) His phone numbers? 1 and 2. In the first few years after the telephone’s invention, every piece of telephone equipment was made in this building—until demand got too great.</p><p>Why did Bell, who was born in Scotland, went to college in London, and lived much of his life in Canada, invent the telephone here? He was able to establish a network of skilled technicians, and find an early investor who was the father of one of his students at the then-new Boston University. He had people like Lewis Latimer to help him file patents.

In 1845, the head surgeon at Mass General, John Collins Warren, performed a tooth extraction on a medical student using the gas nitrous oxide to knock out the patient. Unfortunately, the dose wasn’t right, and the patient experienced just as much pain as if the gas hadn’t been used.</p> </li> <li class="site-more-featured"> <figure data-aspect="16/9"> <iframe allow="fullscreen" allowfullscreen class="lazy" src="" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1AKahVbB8W8?controls=0"></iframe> <figcaption>360 Degree Video inside the Ether Dome</figcaption> </figure> </li> <li class="site-more"> <p>Warren tried again in 1846, using a different gas, sulfuric ether, and a different person administering it, the Boston dentist William T.G. Morton. This time, after a patient had a tumor from his neck removed, he described the feeling as having his neck scratched a bit. The use of inhaled ether as an anesthetic spread around the world; it allowed surgeons to perform a much wider range of operations without causing pain. Warren was a big deal: he was a founder not only of Mass General Hospital, but also the New England Journal of Medicine, and he served as the first dean of Harvard Medical School. (Warren also is tied to the American Revolution: his father, also a doctor, treated wounded soldiers in the early battles, and his uncle, Joseph Warren, was a leading Patriot who fought and died at the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775.)</p><p>Mass General has been the site of many other firsts, including the first surgery to reattach a limb, in 1962, and the first use of “telemedicine” in 1968 to enable doctors to evaluate and treat patients in another location. In the mid-1980s, scientists at Mass General started deciphering the role of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone, and filed early patents — which led to a new class of drugs to manage diabetes and obesity, including Ozempic and Wegovy.</p> </li> <li class="site-more"> <figure data-aspect="16/9"> <iframe allow="fullscreen" allowfullscreen class="lazy" src="" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GPOCj-ZIKdI?controls=0"></iframe> </figure> </li> <li class="site-more"> <figure data-orientation="landscape"> <picture class=""> <source type="image/webp" data-srcset="https://www.theinnovationtrail.org/media/pages/sites/surgery-without-pain/e047f1cda3-1651806822/etherpainting-640x-q80.webp" media="(min-width: 768px)"/> <source type="image/jpg" data-srcset="https://www.theinnovationtrail.org/media/pages/sites/surgery-without-pain/e047f1cda3-1651806822/etherpainting-640x-q80.jpg" media="(min-width: 768px)"/> <img loading="lazy" class="lazy" data-src="https://www.theinnovationtrail.org/media/pages/sites/surgery-without-pain/e047f1cda3-1651806822/etherpainting-640x-q80.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="1920" /> </picture> <figcaption> Courtesy of the Paul S.

That idea didn’t pan out, especially as the stock market crashed in 2000 and Internet startups with big ideas but very little revenue fell out of favor.

What started as Cambridge Incubator became Cambridge Innovation Center, and later CIC. Today, the CIC buildings in Kendall may be home to more startups and venture capital firms than any other buildings on the planet. The CIC served as the first Massachusetts address for tech giants like Google, Apple, and Amazon. It was the original address for successful companies like HubSpot, a marketing software company that is now publicly-traded and has an office of its own. CIC now has a global footprint, operating over 1 million square feet of office and lab space in cities like Philadelphia, Rotterdam, Warsaw, and Tokyo. CIC Health, launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, provided testing services to schools, and operated large-scale vaccination clinics at Fenway Park and Gillette Stadium.</p> </li> <li class="site-more-featured"> <figure data-aspect="4/3"> <iframe allow="fullscreen" allowfullscreen class="lazy" src="" data-src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/69885493?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0"></iframe> </figure> </li> <li class="site-more"> <p><a href="https://venturecafecambridge.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Venture Café</a>, another CIC founded entity, hosts public networking events, panel discussions, and pitch nights.

One of the software developers who wrote the code that ran these guidance computers was Margaret Hamilton, who later founded two companies and is credited as one of the people who defined the field of “software engineering.”<br /> <BR><br /> Audio Guide for This Stop:<br /> <BR></p> <iframe title="Embed Player" src="https://play.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/28342568/height/128/theme/modern/size/standard/thumbnail/yes/custom-color/d3d3d3/time-start/00:00:00/hide-show/yes/hide-playlist/yes/hide-subscribe/yes/hide-share/yes" height="128" width="100%" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="" webkitallowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" oallowfullscreen="true" msallowfullscreen="true" style="border: none;"></iframe> </div>  <button class="site-more-button" ></button>  <ul> <li class="site-more-featured"> <figure data-aspect="16/9"> <iframe allow="fullscreen" allowfullscreen class="lazy" src="" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kYCZPXSVvOQ?controls=0"></iframe> <figcaption>Short video on Margaret Hamilton</figcaption> </figure> </li> <li class="site-more"> <figure data-aspect="16/9"> <iframe allow="fullscreen" allowfullscreen class="lazy" src="" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_d2X8IGHh5g?controls=0"></iframe> <figcaption>Short video on how the Waltham Watch Company helped Draper engineers</figcaption> </figure> </li> </ul>  <div class="site-more" style="display: block;">  <footer class="site-more-footer">   <div class="site-question" data-statement="" data-question="<p>NASA is planning to return humans to the moon sometime around 2025.

On a vacation in New Mexico, Land’s daughter wondered why the photos taken in traditional film cameras couldn’t be seen right away—they had to be developed in a lab. That innocent question led Land to invent the first instant camera, and start a company called Polaroid to market it. Even though Polaroid’s headquarters moved elsewhere in Cambridge, Land kept his private research lab here. One entrepreneur who was inspired by Land was Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple Computer, who said that Land “saw the intersection of art and science and business, and built an organization to reflect that.”</p><p>Today, this brick building is occupied by LabCentral, a shared laboratory space used by dozens of fledgling biotech companies. When the building is open, you can go into the lobby and see small displays about the telephone and instant photography.

(The Fig Newton cookie was also invented in Cambridge, in 1891—even though they were named for the nearby city of Newton.) This building is the last operating candy factory in Cambridge, owned by Tootsie Brands. The company unfortunately doesn’t offer tours, in part because candy companies are notoriously secretive about the equipment and processes they use to make candy—“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” wasn’t too far off base. Inside, they make 26 million pieces of candy a day. Why is that number so high? The factory is the only place in the world that Sugar Babies and Junior Mints are made—both of which are small little morsels.</p> </li> <li class="site-more-featured"> <figure data-aspect="16/9"> <iframe allow="fullscreen" allowfullscreen class="lazy" src="" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lP6HdLpJfAk?controls=0"></iframe> </figure> </li> <li class="site-more-featured"> <figure data-aspect="16/9"> <iframe allow="fullscreen" allowfullscreen class="lazy" src="" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9jwPcErfB2I?controls=0"></iframe> </figure> </li> <li class="site-more"> <p>If you look through the parking lot on the right side of this building (or walk over to 250 Massachusetts Avenue), you can see the top of another candy factory. That one, the former New England Confectionery Company, or NECCO, has a water tower on top that now sports a DNA helix. When the building made NECCO wafers and conversation hearts (“Be Mine”)—from the 1920s until 2003— the water tower was painted like a rainbow roll of that chalky candy. At one time, it was the world’s biggest candy factory under one roof. The building is now occupied by the Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research, the main research lab for the Swiss biopharma company. (Fun fact: like Willie Wonka’s factory, the building has glass elevators.) While Novartis and other biopharma companies design and test new drugs here in Cambridge, for the most part when they create something that is approved by the FDA and can be prescribed to patients, it’s made elsewhere. Cambridge’s real estate has become too valuable to do manufacturing these days—though the Cambridge Brands factory is hanging in there.</p><p>Across Main Street there is a mural that tells the story of candy manufacturing in Cambridge.</p><p>What next? There are other “off Trail” sites you can visit in Cambridge and beyond. (Scroll down to "Beyond the Trail.") If you’re hungry or thirsty, drop by Toscanini’s Ice Cream or Miracle of Science, two favorite hangouts of the Kendall Square and MIT communities a few steps away from the Cambridge Brands factory.</p> </li> </ul>  <div class="site-more" style="display: block;">  <footer class="site-more-footer">   <div class="site-question" data-statement="" data-question="<p>What is the world’s best candy?

The ticket price does not include admission to the MIT Musuem or other museums, but they do go into galleries at the Broad Institute/Broad Discovery Center, and MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab when the buildings are open. We encourage you to check out the museums on the Trail before or after your guided walking tour. The Broad Discovery Center and MGH Museum of Medical History & Innovation offer free admission; the MIT Museum and Musuem of Science have admission fees.</p><p></p><p>If you are walking the Innovation Trail as a self-guided our, we encourage you to check out the museums that are of greatest interest to you. All of them have restroom facilities; the MIT Museum and Museum of Science also have gift shops. Only the Museum of Science has a cafeteria and beverages available for sale.</p></div> </details>  <details id="if-i-m-driving-into-boston-where-can-i-park" class="faq-item"> <summary class="faq-title">If I'm driving into Boston, where can I park?</summary>  <div class=""><p>The Pi Alley Parking Garage at 275 Franklin Street is closest to the start of the Trail in Boston. The Boston Common Garage and Center Plaza Garage are both a short walk from the start. If you park near the Boston start and walk all the way to Cambridge, it’s easy to take the MBTA back from the Central Square stop on the Red Line to the Park Street Stop on the Red Line. (This ride is three stops.)</p><p>If you’re starting on the Cambridge end, the 55 Franklin Street garage in Cambridge is well-located. If you walk all the way to Boston, you can take the MBTA’s Red Line from Park Street to Central Square to return to your car.

Either tag us on social media (@bostoninnotrail), or click the menu at the upper right corner of the page and choose “Connect with Us” to send us your thoughts.</p><p>Many innovative people and places aren’t included simply for reasons of geography; we wanted to create a walkable route in Boston and Cambridge, close to hotels, T stops, and other tourist destinations. Some aren’t included because there just isn’t a building/plaque/marker/historic home/museum or anything to see. In other cases, we had to be selective: how much (and what) do you highlight at a university like MIT or Harvard, for instance? But see the “Beyond the Trail” section of the site for interesting sites located around Greater Boston, some a short distance from the Trail itself. And we plan to continue evolving and adding to what’s here with input from you.</p></div> </details>  <details id="how-might-the-trail-better-reflect-bostons-diversity" class="faq-item"> <summary class="faq-title">How might the Trail better reflect Boston’s diversity?</summary>  <div class=""><p>In creating the Trail, we wrestled with the city’s history, where many people involved in forming institutions, being educated by those institutions, and creating new inventions were white men. Boston, like many other cities across the country, has not exactly been a place of equal opportunity over the course of its history, and that reality is reflected in our legacy of innovation.</p><p><br>One of the Trail’s aims is to work with historians and others in the community to identify stories and contributions from BIPOC, women, and members of the LGBTQ+ community whose work may have not yet been properly recognized and celebrated. We will endeavor to highlight the work being done by other organizations on this issue (See “Beyond the Trail,” under “Societal innovations and social change” for links.) We will also highlight work being done by existing sites on the Trail, like MassGeneral, to <a href="https://www.massgeneral.org/cdi/about" rel="noopener noreferrer">detail the diverse innovators</a> who have contributed to their success and progress. If you’d like to participate or contribute, please click “Connect with Us” and send us an email.

We have had many dogs learn about innovation along with their human followers. One caveat: dogs are not permitted into any of the museums, offices, or MIT buildings on the Trail, unless they are service animals.</p><p>If you are walking the Trail with a dog, please tell them that the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard was the first to sequence the complete dog genome (a boxer named Tasha.)

At the company, he helped shepherd science out of the lab and into the marketplace, delivering treatments for patients with rare (and often fatal) diseases like Gaucher and Fabry. Termeer helped elevate the profile of the biotech industry in Massachusetts and nationally. Genzyme was ultimately acquired for $20 billion by the French pharmaceutical company Sanofi. Termeer died in 2017. The square includes a statue of Termeer, quotes, and a reflecting pool inspired by the book “The Giving Tree.” The building at 500 Kendall Street, on the south side of the square, was originally built as Genzyme’s headquarters.

It was also the first modern industrial corporation, pioneering the business model for organizing a manufacturing concern that remains the global standard today. The site now houses the Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation, dedicated to telling the story of technology as a human endeavor that produces a variety of outcomes. Exhibits explore Waltham’s role in the rise of American industry, from textile manufacturing to machine tools, power systems, timekeeping (the Waltham Watch Company), and transportation (Metz motorcars and Orient bicycles).</p></div>   <div class="beyond-website text"> <p> <a href="https://www.charlesrivermuseum.org"> charlesrivermuseum.org </a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="beyond-right">  <figure data-orientation="landscape"> <picture class=""> <source type="image/webp" data-srcset="https://www.theinnovationtrail.org/media/pages/beyond-the-trail/charles-river-museum-of-industry-innovation/4aea9d3a4f-1651806851/charles-river-museum-of-industry-and-innovation-drone-shot-640x-q80.webp" media="(min-width: 768px)"/> <source type="image/jpg" data-srcset="https://www.theinnovationtrail.org/media/pages/beyond-the-trail/charles-river-museum-of-industry-innovation/4aea9d3a4f-1651806851/charles-river-museum-of-industry-and-innovation-drone-shot-640x-q80.jpg" media="(min-width: 768px)"/> <img loading="lazy" class="lazy" data-src="https://www.theinnovationtrail.org/media/pages/beyond-the-trail/charles-river-museum-of-industry-innovation/4aea9d3a4f-1651806851/charles-river-museum-of-industry-and-innovation-drone-shot-640x-q80.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="417" /> </picture> <figcaption> Courtesy Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation </figcaption> </figure> </div> </div> </details>  <details id="paul-revere-son-copper-rolling-mill" class="beyond-item"> <summary class="beyond-title">Paul Revere & Son Copper Rolling Mill</summary> <div class="beyond-content"> <div class="beyond-left">  <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/mhLPaK5qESZ42XYk8"> <div class="beyond-address"> 4 Rolling Mill Way, Canton </div> </a>  <div class="beyond-text text"><p>In 1801 Paul Revere began rolling copper for the U.S. Government.

Our goal is to tell the stories of how innovations born in Boston shaped our world, and to inspire future generations of scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers, and educators. We’ve recently launched a schedule of regular public tours, but we have BIG plans to make this a must-do field trip, a more immersive and tech-forward experience, an essential part of any visit to Boston—and yes, eventually even posting signs or painting a line on the sidewalk. (If the Freedom Trail and an <a href="https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/harvard-bridge-smoot-measurements" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">MIT fraternity</a> can do it…. why not us?) We aren’t funded by any city agencies or universities. Our financial support comes entirely from people and organizations who believe in innovation as a force for good in the world. Is that you?</p><p>You can make a donation using the big red button at right, or by mailing a check to <strong>The Innovation Trail of Greater Boston</strong>, 217 Hanover Street, PO Box 130386, Boston MA 02113. The Innovation Trail is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and your donation is tax deductible as allowed by law.</p> </div> <div class="donor-categories"> <div class="donor-category
