1

Boston Common

Embark on this adventure into America's Revolutionary past at the heart of old Boston: the Boston Common. This spacious green has been a part of the city since it's early colonial beginnings. We'll begin the tour by the Visitor Center and find the red-brick path. As we follow the path, we'll dive back in time to the 1700s and set the scene..

2

Freedom Trail

The Freedom Trail is a 2.5-mile-long path through downtown Boston, Massachusetts, that passes by 16 locations significant to the history of the United States. Marked largely with brick, it winds between Boston Common to the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown.

3

Park Street Church

From the State House and Shaw Memorial, we'll continue following the Freedom Trail. That brings us through Boston Common and out to the Park Street Church. As we walk, we'll dive into the most important question of all: what prompted the Revolutionary War? As we peel back the layers, we discover that the battle for American Independence was one falling domino in a long chain of dominos stretching across multiple continents and older wars.

4

Granary Burying Ground

This brings us to the truly 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? Well for one thing, this ground is so old it actually holds the grave of Mother Goose. We still hear her stories today! We'll also visit the graves of American legends like Paul Revere, Robert Paine, and James Otis. And we can't miss John Hancock and Sam Adams' graves either! Lastly, we'll visit the graves of those killed in the Boston Massacre, one of the stepping stones to the full-blown revolution. We'll be heading to the site of this Massacre later.

5

Massachusetts State House

The first stop along our red-bricked Freedom Trail tour is right at the corner of Boston Common: the Massachusetts State House! This building is both historic and architecturally beautiful.... and of course, we can't forget about it's eye-catching golden dome! We'll pause in front of the State House to catch up on a couple of key Revolutionary War characters (and soon-to-be American heroes) and a little colonial history. We'll 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? We'll get into all of those details right here.

6

Boston Irish Famine Memorial

7

Old South Meeting House

Just across the street from the Irish Famine Memorial, we'll find the historic Old South Meeting House. This small, tucked-away building is easy to miss but we'll pause in front of it.

We'll learn all about the organizers, their motivations, and of course the consequences of their "tea party".

8

Boston Latin School

From the Granary, we'll continue following the Freedom Trail's red bricks. We'll check out the King's Chapel along the way and pause in front of the Latin School. This historic site contains a number of fun statues to pose with (including a donkey!) and quite a lot of rich history to dive into.

Le Freedom Trail est un chemin de 2,5 miles de long à travers le centre-ville de Boston, dans le Massachusetts, qui passe par 16 lieux importants pour l'histoire des États-Unis. Marqué en grande partie avec de la brique, il serpente entre Boston Common et le Bunker Hill Monument à Charlestown.

93

Église de la rue du parc

Depuis la State House et le Shaw Memorial, nous continuerons à suivre le Freedom Trail. Cela nous amène à Boston Common et à l'église de Park Street. En marchant, nous plongerons dans la question la plus importante de toutes : qu'est-ce qui a déclenché la guerre d'indépendance ? Au fur et à mesure que nous décollons les couches, nous découvrons que la bataille pour l'indépendance américaine était un domino tombant dans une longue chaîne de dominos s'étendant sur plusieurs continents et des guerres plus anciennes.

94

Cimetière du grenier

Cela nous amène au véritable ancien cimetière du grenier ! Établi en 1660, ce n'est que le troisième cimetière le plus ancien de Boston. Pouvez-vous imaginer ce qui a changé au cours des 400 dernières années ? Eh bien, d'une part, ce terrain est si ancien qu'il abrite en fait la tombe de Mother Goose. On entend encore ses histoires aujourd'hui ! Nous visiterons également les tombes de légendes américaines telles que Paul Revere, Robert Paine et James Otis. Et nous ne pouvons pas non plus manquer les tombes de John Hancock et Sam Adams ! Enfin, nous visiterons les tombes des personnes tuées lors du massacre de Boston, l'un des tremplins de la révolution à part entière. Nous nous dirigerons vers le site de ce massacre plus tard.

95

Maison d'État du Massachusetts

Le premier arrêt de notre circuit en briques rouges sur le Freedom Trail se trouve juste au coin de Boston Common : le Massachusetts State House ! Ce bâtiment est à la fois historique et architecturalement magnifique... et bien sûr, nous ne pouvons pas oublier son dôme doré accrocheur ! Nous nous arrêterons devant la State House pour rattraper quelques personnages clés de la guerre d'indépendance (et bientôt des héros américains) et un peu d'histoire coloniale. Nous allons également jeter un œil au Robert G Shaw et au 54e mémorial, qui se dresse en face de la State House. Qui était Shaw et qu'est-ce qui rendait le 54e régiment si important ? Nous allons entrer dans tous ces détails ici.

96

Mémorial de la famine irlandaise de Boston

A quelques pas de l'école latine, nous trouverons le mémorial de la famine irlandaise. Ici, nous plongerons un peu plus tard dans l'histoire de Boston et parlerons de la nouvelle vague d'immigrants après la révolution. Nous découvrirons les difficultés qu'ils ont rencontrées et surmontées... et où en sont ces communautés aujourd'hui.

97

Ancienne maison de réunion du sud

Juste en face de l'Irish Famine Memorial, nous trouverons l'historique Old South Meeting House. Ce petit bâtiment caché est facile à manquer, mais nous nous arrêterons devant. Ici, nous serons transportés dans le temps à l'un des événements les plus fatidiques qui ont précédé la guerre d'indépendance... la Boston Tea Party. On apprendra tout sur les organisateurs, leurs motivations, et bien sûr les conséquences de leur "tea party".

98

École latine de Boston

Depuis le Grenier, nous continuerons à suivre les briques rouges du Freedom Trail. Nous visiterons la chapelle du roi en cours de route et nous nous arrêterons devant l'école latine. Ce site historique contient un certain nombre de statues amusantes avec lesquelles poser (y compris un âne !) et une riche histoire dans laquelle plonger.

99

Ancienne maison d'État

Notre route de briques rouges nous amène enfin à l'un des arrêts les plus populaires du Freedom Trail : l'Old State House. Nous ferons une pause ici pour identifier les principales caractéristiques architecturales et en apprendre davantage sur leur signification (et leur longue histoire !). Ensuite, nous nous promènerons de l'autre côté.

100

Site du massacre de Boston

... pour voir le site du tristement célèbre massacre de Boston ! Mais était-ce un massacre ? Ou juste une émeute tapageuse, comme disaient les Britanniques ? Nous plongerons dans l'histoire passionnante tout en nous tenant à l'endroit même où l'histoire s'est déroulée. Nous découvrirons également Crispus Attacuks, un héros américain honoré.

101

Librairie de l'ancien coin

En continuant sur le Freedom Trail, nous en apprendrons davantage sur le Tea Party et les Sons of Liberty qui étaient derrière. Nous passerons également devant la librairie historique Old Corner Bookstore en marchant et plongerons dans son lien avec les Bostoniens coloniaux.

102

Haymarket

Alors que nous poursuivons notre voyage le long du sentier en briques rouges du Freedom Trail, nous plongerons également dans l'histoire de l'historique Haymarket, du nouveau et saisissant mémorial de l'Holocauste devant et de la vue imprenable sur la Custom House Tower un peu au-delà. Nous en apprendrons un peu plus sur chacun de ces sites en nous dirigeant vers un autre arrêt populaire.

103

La maison Paul Revere

Notre chemin nous amène à un autre arrêt populaire le long du Freedom Trail : la maison de Paul Revere ! Ici, nous découvrirons le célèbre "Midnight Ride" de Paul Revere, son immortalisation dans un poème de Henry Wadsworth-Longfellow, ainsi que les vérités et les mythes derrière ce moment historique.

104

Marché Faneuil Hall

Nous suivrons le Freedom Trail jusqu'à un autre lieu de repos populaire : Faneuil Hall et Quincy Market ! Tout d'abord, nous explorerons l'histoire fascinante du site, puis explorerons sa vaste gamme d'options de restauration !

105

Cimetière de Copp's Hill

De l'église Old North, nous suivrons le Freedom Trail plus loin jusqu'à l'historique Copp's Hill Burying Ground. Ce cimetière historique du North End de Boston est plus ancien que le Granary... mais seulement d'un an !

106

Constitution de l'USS

Nos derniers arrêts sont un peu plus loin, sur le pont et dans le Charlestown Navy Yard. Là, nous verrons l'historique et impressionnant USS Constitution - et apprendrons tout sur sa bataille épique contre la Guerriere. Nous explorerons plus en détail les batailles navales de la guerre d'indépendance sur ce site historique.

107

Monument de la colline de Bunker

Enfin, nous suivrons le Freedom Trail jusqu'au Bunker Hill Monument, construit pour commémorer la bataille de Bunker Hill. Nous marcherons autour de cette colline, explorerons le site de cette bataille épique et comprendrons la brutalité et l'intensité de la bataille pour la liberté. Ce site est le dernier de notre visite complète le long de l'historique Freedom Trail de Boston.

108

Ancienne église nord et site historique

De la maison de Paul Revere, nous nous dirigerons vers l'église Old North. C'est le site emblématique où les lanternes "une si par terre, deux si par mer" étaient allumées, signalant silencieusement les mouvements des troupes britanniques aux révolutionnaires coloniaux.
