• Freedom Trail - Discover the rich history of early Boston and the United States on the 2.5-mile Freedom Trail with a self-guided walking audio tour. Visit 16 historic landmarks, from downtown Boston through the North End to the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown. Highlights include Faneuil Hall, the Paul Revere House, and the USS Constitution.

Note: This 3-mile-long tour covers the essentials of the Freedom Trail in 4-5 hours.

Note: Plan to arrive early for this tour, as parking fills up quickly.

• Boston Common - Begin your journey into America’s Revolutionary past at the heart of old Boston: the Boston Common. This expansive green space has been a part of the city since its early colonial days. Start the tour at the Visitor Center and find the red-brick path. As you follow the path, you’ll travel back in time to the 1700s and set the scene….
• Massachusetts State House - The first stop along the red-bricked Freedom Trail tour is at the corner of Boston Common: the Massachusetts State House! This building is both historic and architecturally stunning…. and of course, we can’t forget about its eye-catching golden dome! Pause in front of the State House to learn about key Revolutionary War figures (and soon-to-be American heroes) and a bit of colonial history. Also, take a look at the Robert G Shaw and 54th Memorial, which stands opposite the State House. Who was Shaw and what made the 54th Regiment so significant? Discover all those details right here.
• Park Street Church - From the State House and Shaw Memorial, continue following the Freedom Trail. This brings you through Boston Common and out to the Park Street Church. As you walk, delve into the most important question of all: what prompted the Revolutionary War? As you peel back the layers, you’ll find that the battle for American Independence was one falling domino in a long chain of events stretching across multiple continents and older wars…
• Granary Burying Ground - This brings you to the ancient Granary Burying Ground! Established in 1660, this is only Boston’s third-oldest burying ground. Can you imagine what’s changed in the last 400 years? For one thing, this ground is so old it actually holds the grave of Mother Goose. Her stories are still told today! Also visit the graves of American legends like Paul Revere, Robert Paine, and James Otis. Don’t miss John Hancock and Sam Adams’ graves either! Lastly, visit the graves of those killed in the Boston Massacre, one of the stepping stones to the full-blown revolution. You’ll be heading to the site of this Massacre later.
• Boston Irish Famine Memorial - A few steps down from the Latin School, find the Irish Famine Memorial. Here, jump a bit later into Boston history and talk about the new wave of immigrants after the revolution. Learn about the hardships they faced and overcame… and where these communities are today.
• Old South Meeting House - Just across the street from the Irish Famine Memorial, find the historic Old South Meeting House. This small, tucked-away building is easy to miss but pause in front of it. Here, be transported back in time to one of the most fateful events leading up to the Revolutionary War… the Boston Tea Party. Learn all about the organizers, their motivations, and of course the consequences of their “tea party”.
• Old State House - The red-brick road finally brings you to one of the most popular stops along the Freedom Trail: the Old State House. Pause here 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! But was it a massacre? Or just a rowdy riot, as the British said? Dive into the thrilling tale while standing at the very spot where history unfolded. Also, learn about Crispus Attucks, an honored American hero.
• Faneuil Hall Marketplace - Follow the Freedom Trail to another popular resting spot: Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market! First, explore the site’s fascinating history and then explore its huge range of food options!
• Haymarket - As you continue your journey along the red-bricked path of the Freedom Trail, dive into the story of the historic Haymarket, the new and striking Holocaust Memorial out in front, and the stunning view of the Custom House Tower a little beyond. Learn a bit about each of these sites as you make your way to another popular stop.
• The Paul Revere House - The path brings you to another popular stop along the Freedom Trail: Paul Revere’s House! Here, 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, make your way to the Old North Church. This is the iconic site 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 farther up to the historic Copp’s Hill Burying Ground. This historic cemetery in Boston’s North End is older than the Granary… but only by a year!
• USS Constitution Museum - The last few stops are a little farther along, over the bridge and into the Charlestown Navy Yard. There, see the historic and impressive USS Constitution – and learn all about her epic battle against the Guerriere. Explore the naval battles of the War for Independence in more detail while at this historic site.
• Bunker Hill Monument - Finally, follow the Freedom Trail up 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. This site is the last along the comprehensive tour of Boston’s historic Freedom Trail.
