Boston's Freedom Trail

[Cornishpastyman1]

I went to Boston recently and being a good tourist I walked the Freedom Trail.

 

Part 1 Boston Common to King's Chapel

 

The Freedom Trail destinations in this first one are Boston Common, Massachusetts State House, Park Street Church, the Old Granary Burying Ground and King's Chapel.

 

Part 2 Boston Latin to Paul Revere's house

 

Boston Latin public school, Benjamin Franklin Statue, Old Corner Bookstore, Old South Meeting House, Old State House, Site of Boston Massacre, Faneuil Hall and Paul Revere's house

 

Part 3 Old North Church to the Bunker Hill Monument

 

Old North Church, Copp's Hill Burying Ground, the U.S.S. Constitution and finally the Bunker Hill Monument (on Breed's Hill :confused:)

 

That last part is the one that requires most walking as you go out to Charlestown, a neighbourhood of Boston.

 

USS Constitution

 

The 20-minute tour of the great ship is free and takes place every 30 minutes but you need photo ID to get past the security check so take your passport with you.

 

The whole thing is about 3 miles, and there's plenty of other things to see along the way.

 

All the best, Tony
