Charlestown State Prison, where Sacco and Vanzetti died
1805
Boston, Massachusetts
Massachusetts opened its state prison at Lynde's Point in 1805 and kept adding wings to it through the century. Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were electrocuted here on 23 August 1927 after a robbery and murder trial that drew protests across Europe and is still argued over. The prison closed in 1955 and Bunker Hill Community College stands on the ground.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
