• Boston Common - Begin this journey into America’s Revolutionary past at the heart of old Boston: the Boston Common. This expansive green space has been part of the city since its early colonial days. Start the tour at the Visitor Center and follow the red-brick path. As you walk, travel back in time to the 1700s and set the scene….
• Massachusetts State House - The first stop on our red-bricked Freedom Trail tour is at the corner of Boston Common: the Massachusetts State House! This building is both historic and architecturally stunning, featuring its iconic golden dome. Pause in front of the State House to learn about key Revolutionary War figures (and future American heroes) and some colonial history. Also, view the Robert G Shaw and 54th Memorial, located opposite the State House. Who was Shaw, and why was the 54th Regiment significant? Discover all the details here.
• Park Street Church - From the State House and Shaw Memorial, continue along the Freedom Trail through Boston Common to the Park Street Church. As you walk, explore the crucial question: what sparked the Revolutionary War? Uncover the layers to find that the fight for American Independence was one domino in a long chain of events spanning multiple continents and earlier wars…
• Granary Burying Ground - This leads us to the ancient Granary Burying Ground! Established in 1660, it is Boston’s third-oldest burial ground. Imagine the changes over the last 400 years! This ground is so old it even holds the grave of Mother Goose, whose stories we still hear today! Visit the graves of American icons like Paul Revere, Robert Paine, and James Otis. Don’t miss the graves of John Hancock and Sam Adams! Lastly, see the graves of those killed in the Boston Massacre, a pivotal event leading to the revolution. We’ll visit the Massacre site later.
• Boston Irish Famine Memorial - A few steps from the Latin School, find the Irish Famine Memorial. Here, delve into a later chapter of Boston’s history and discuss the new wave of immigrants post-revolution. Learn about the challenges they faced and overcame, and where these communities stand today.
• Old South Meeting House - Just across from the Irish Famine Memorial, discover the historic Old South Meeting House. This small, hidden building is easy to overlook, but pause here. Be transported back to one of the most significant events leading to the Revolutionary War… the Boston Tea Party. Learn about the organizers, their motivations, and the consequences of their “tea party”.
• Old State House - Our red-brick path leads us to one of the most popular stops on the Freedom Trail: the Old State House. Pause to identify key architectural features and learn about its significance and long history. Then, walk around to the other side….
• Boston Massacre Site - … to see the site of the infamous Boston Massacre! Was it truly a massacre, or just a rowdy riot, as the British claimed? Dive into the thrilling story while standing at the very spot where history unfolded. Learn about Crispus Attucks, an honored American hero.
• Faneuil Hall Marketplace - Follow the Freedom Trail to another popular stop: Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market! First, explore the site’s fascinating history, then enjoy its vast array of food options!
• Haymarket - As the journey continues along the red-bricked Freedom Trail, delve into the story of the historic Haymarket, the striking Holocaust Memorial in front, and the stunning view of the Custom House Tower beyond. Learn about each of these sites as you proceed to another popular stop.
• The Paul Revere House - The path leads to another popular stop on the Freedom Trail: Paul Revere’s House! Learn about Paul Revere’s famous “Midnight Ride,” its immortalization in a poem by Henry Wadsworth-Longfellow, and the truths and myths behind this historic moment.
• Old North Church & Historic Site - From Paul Revere’s House, proceed to the Old North Church. This iconic site is where the “one if by land, two if by sea” lanterns were lit, silently signaling the British troops’ movements to colonial revolutionaries.
• Copp’s Hill Burying Ground - From the Old North Church, follow the Freedom Trail further to the historic Copp’s Hill Burying Ground. This cemetery in Boston’s North End is older than the Granary by just a year!
• USS Constitution Museum - The final stops are a bit further along, over the bridge into the Charlestown Navy Yard. There, see the historic and impressive USS Constitution and learn about her epic battle against the Guerriere. Explore the naval battles of the War for Independence in more detail at this historic site.
• Bunker Hill Monument - Finally, follow the Freedom Trail to the Bunker Hill Monument, built to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill. Walk around this hill, exploring the site of this epic battle and gaining an understanding of the brutality and intensity of the fight for freedom.
