What is interesting about Boston?

Emily Dickenson (1830-1886)

Emily Dickenson was born, lived, and died in Amherst, Massachusetts, living in her family's home the entire time, and rarely traveling. She became a recluse in her later years, but she poured all of her energy into her poetry.

Amherst is more than an hour away. Therefore, Emily can hardly be considered a famous Bostonian.
