Boston Freedom TrailWalking the Freedom Trail takes us back to Colonial Revolutionary Boston and we hear the stories of America's first patriots as they planned and fought for freedom. This National Recreation Trail links 16 sites of historic importance with a red line stretching from Boston Common to Old Ironsides and the Bunker Hill Monument. Each site along the way played a role in the beginning of our nation, and for some who shared in the idea that liberty was precious and worth fighting for, such as Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and Paul Revere, it is their final resting place. In 1770, just outside the doors of the Old State House, the seat of British government in Boston, the Boston Massacre unfolded and, not coincidentally, the first reading of the Declaration of Independence to Bostonians occurred from its balcony in 1776. Enjoy the history - hear the heated debates in Faneuil Hall or the first singing of America at Park Street Church, and imagine the two lanterns hanging in the Old North Church as Paul Revere races off on his famous midnight ride.
