The first time I went to this place was on a snowy icy day in December 2005. My first and only time in Boston so far but I want to go back. We finally found the HRC and they told us they were closed for a special function but we explained we were visiting and they invited us in to look around, visit the gift shop, and said if we wanted to stay for something to eat they could serve us at the bar. They were wonderful there and I can’t wait for the opportunity to return again.
