Boston Info Websites
 
For my trip to Philadelphia last year I was able to find several web sites that had much downloadable information such as area walking tours, maps, sights etc.

I'm having a hard time finding similar info for Boston.

Any secret web sites?

I tried about a dozen yesterday and they were more interested in selling books, etc.

I tried thefreedontrail.org yesterday but did better with it today.

Thanks.

The Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce at www.bostonchamber.com.

I check a city's Chamber of Commerce site if I'm going somewhere new - it can be more useful sometimes than the touristy websites trying to sell stuff and advertise.
