So what's there to see in Boston?

I'm presenting a paper at a Harvard conference at the end of May and I get an all expenses paid trip! My professor says I can easily stay an extra day if I want to, most people apparently do, so I'm looking for ideas.

Unfortunately I'm only 20 can't exactly put alcohol on the bill if I'm clearly underage.

Pretty much everything related to the founding of our nation...

Cruise around Harvard awhile just to see it.

Go a few miles east by Concord to see the Emerson house/museum (worth 1 hour) & the nearby house of Louisa May Alcott, then on to see the replica Thoreau "house" in the parking lot by Walden Pond (also worth 1 hour), & then go downtown Boston to eat at Faneuille Hall & walk a little bit of Freedom Trail (it's marked visibly into the sidewalk).
