Newbie visting Boston

I'm going to visit an old friend I haven't seen since she moved to
northwest of Boston. I'll probably have a day available, maybe two.

Is there anything that's "gotta' see" around? Inspiring to a newbie
woodworker?

At this point, the Museum of Science is on the list (okay, it's not
woodworking... but I'm also curious :)).

Thanks for any info/pointers.

You could always visit Woodcraft Supply - their first retail store - a
short drive north on I93. Rockler has a retail store in Cambridge on
Massachusetts Ave.

The North Bennet St. school has an open house this month - check out
their web site for details.

You could try and go to the Shaker Village
http://www.hancockshakervillage.org

If you are in the city of Boston you have to go to the USS Constitution
http://www.ussconstitution.navy.mil/

Both are great examples of old school craftsmanship.
