The station opened for service on 17 October 1848 with the opening of the Great Northern Railway East Lincolnshire line.
Boston station was once an important junction, with two lines diverging in either direction. Today, only the eastbound line to Skegness, and the westbound line towards Sleaford remain in use. There was previously a southbound line to Spalding (closed in October 1970) that joined the line to Peterborough (and formed part of the original GNR main line from London to York), and a north-westbound line to Woodhall Junction (closed in June 1963) and thence on towards Lincoln, Horncastle, or Louth. Both surviving routes are single line, with a passing loop at the station.
The station has declined in importance since the 1960s. In its heyday the station had two through tracks and cover over the platform tracks. The Skegness bound platform had classic Great Northern Railway architecture buildings as well, now replaced with plastic shelters. The station frontage remains, albeit altered, in partially reconstructed manner, and some of the buildings have found new uses.

This special ceremony is designed to recognize students who were not able to walk with their peers in June for a variety of reasons, or who worked throughout the summer to achieve their goal of graduating as part of the Boston Public Schools Class of 2016. Students took advantage of summer school and summer learning programs, such as the credit recovery program, to fulfill their requirements for a high school degree.

The Boston Public Libarary is a beautiful palce. The scenery is great with a very homey feel. I felt like I was exploring Hogwarts, along with that, the Oderegard Libaray at the Universy of Washington in Seattle.
