Lynn
is a coastal city located in eastern Massachusetts, approximately eleven miles north of Boston. It was settled nearly 350 years ago when residents of nearby Salem wanted to find a less crowded place to live. They bargained with the Indians for some land known as Saugust, and in 1630, they formed a settlement of the same name. The name of the town was changed to Lynn in 1637 in honor of Samuel Whiting from King's Lynn, England. Attractions in the town include Lynn Woods, the largest municipal park in the state and the second largest in the country. The park contains several historical sites, including Stone Tower, the Wolf Pits and Dungeon Rock, believed to be the site of a buried pirate treasure. There is also a three-acre Rose Garden in Lynn Woods and 2200 acres for hiking, picnicking and horseback riding. The Lynn Heritage Waterfront Park offers an observation tower that provides great views of Boston and other nearby towns. In summer, boats run from the waterfront park to the Boston Harbor Islands. Other points of interest in the city of Lynn include the Mary Baker Eddy House (founder of the Christian Science faith,) the Lynn Historical Society Museum and Lynn Commons, which dates to 1630.
