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

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.

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

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.

6

Boston Irish Famine Memorial

A few steps down from the Latin School, we'll find the Irish Famine Memorial. Here we'll jump a bit later into Boston history and talk about the new wave of immigrants after the revolution. We'll learn about the hardships they faced and overcame... and where these communities are today.

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. Here, we'll be transported back in time to one of the most fateful events leading up the Revolutionary War... the Boston Tea Party. We'll learn all about the organizers, their motivations, and of course the consequences of their "tea party".

8

Old State House

Our red-brick road finally brings us to the one of the most popular stops along the Freedom Trail: the Old State House. We'll pause here to identify key architectural features and learn about it's significance (and long history!). Then, we'll walk around to the other side....

9

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? We'll dive into the thrilling tale while standing at the very spot where history unfolded. We'll also learn about Crispus Attacuks, an honored American hero.

10

Faneuil Hall Marketplace

We'll follow the Freedom Trail to another popular resting spot: Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market! First we'll explore the site's fascinating history and then explore it's huge range of food options!

11

Haymarket

As we continue our journey along the red-bricked path of the Freedom Trail, we'll also 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. We'll learn a bit about each of these sites as we make our way to another popular stop.

12

The Paul Revere House

Our path brings us to another popular stop along the Freedom Trail: Paul Revere's House! Here we'll learn about Paul Revere's famous "Midnight Ride", it's immortalization in a poem by Henry Wadsworth-Longfellow, and the truths and myths behind this historic moment.

13

Old North Church & Historic Site

From Paul Revere's House, we'll make our 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 signalling the British troops' movements to colonial revolutionaries.

14

Copp's Hill Burying Ground

From the Old North Church, we'll 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!

15

USS Constitution Museum

Our last few stops are a little farther along, over the bridge and into the Charlestown Navy Yard. There we'll see the historic and impressive USS Constitution -- and learn all about her epic battle against the Guerriere. We'll explore the naval battles of the War for Independence in more detail while at this historic site.

16

Bunker Hill Monument

Finally we'll follow the Freedom Trail up to the Bunker Hill Monument, built to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill.

81

Бостон Коммон

Отправляйтесь в это приключение в революционное прошлое Америки в самом сердце старого Бостона: Бостон Коммон. Эта просторная зеленая зона была частью города с момента его зарождения в колониальные времена. Мы начнем экскурсию с визит-центра и найдем дорожку из красного кирпича. Следуя по пути, мы окунемся в прошлое, в 1700-е годы, и установим сцену...

82

Государственный дом Массачусетса

Первая остановка в нашем туре по Тропе Свободы из красного кирпича находится прямо на углу Бостон-Коммон: Государственный дом штата Массачусетс! Это здание историческое, и красивое с архитектурной точки зрения... и, конечно же, мы не можем забыть о его привлекательном золотом куполе! Мы остановимся перед Государственным домом, чтобы познакомиться с парой ключевых персонажей Войны за независимость (и будущими американскими героями) и немного колониальной истории. Мы также взглянем на Роберта Дж. Шоу и 54-й Мемориал, который стоит напротив Дома штата. Кем был Шоу и что делало 54-й полк таким значимым? Мы рассмотрим все эти детали прямо здесь.

83

Церковь на Парк-Стрит

От Государственного дома и Мемориала Шоу мы продолжим путь по Тропе Свободы. Это приводит нас через Бостон-Коммон к церкви на Парк-Стрит. Пока мы гуляем, мы погрузимся в самый важный вопрос из всех: что спровоцировало Войну за независимость? По мере того, как мы отслаиваем слои назад, мы обнаруживаем, что битва за независимость Америки была одной падающей костяшкой домино в длинной цепочке костяшек домино, протянувшейся через несколько континентов и более старых войн...

84

Зернохранилище Могильник

Это подводит нас к поистине древнему амбарному могильнику! Основанное в 1660 году, это всего лишь третье по возрасту кладбище в Бостоне. Вы представляете, что изменилось за последние 400 лет? Ну, во-первых, эта земля настолько старая, что на ней действительно находится могила Матушки Гусыни. Мы все еще слышим ее истории сегодня! Мы также посетим могилы американских легенд, таких как Пол Ревир, Роберт Пейн и Джеймс Отис. И мы не можем пропустить могилы Джона Хэнкока и Сэма Адамса! Наконец, мы посетим могилы погибших в Бостонской резне, одну из ступенек на пути к полномасштабной революции. Мы направимся к месту этой бойни позже.

Бостонская латинская школа

От Зернохранилища мы продолжим следовать по красным кирпичам Тропы Свободы. По пути заглянем в Королевскую часовню и остановимся перед Латинской школой.

86

Бостонский ирландский мемориал голода

В нескольких шагах от Латинской школы мы найдем Мемориал ирландского голода. Здесь мы чуть позже окунемся в историю Бостона и поговорим о новой волне иммигрантов после революции. Мы узнаем о трудностях, с которыми они столкнулись и которые преодолели... и о том, где сегодня находятся эти общины.

87

Старый Южный Дом собраний

Прямо через дорогу от Мемориала ирландского голода мы найдем исторический Дом собраний Old South. Это маленькое укромное здание легко не заметить, но мы остановимся перед ним. Здесь мы перенесемся в прошлое, к одному из самых судьбоносных событий, приведших к Войне за независимость... Бостонскому чаепитию.

89

Место Бостонской резни

... чтобы увидеть место печально известной Бостонской резни! Но была ли это резня? Или просто буйный бунт, как сказали англичане? Мы погрузимся в захватывающую историю, стоя на том самом месте, где разворачивалась история. Мы также узнаем о Криспусе Аттакуксе, заслуженном американском герое.

93

Старая северная церковь и историческое место

Из дома Пола Ревира мы направимся к Старой Северной церкви. Это знаковое место, где были зажжены фонари «один, если по суше, два, если по морю», молча сигнализируя о передвижении британских войск колониальным революционерам.

94

Кладбище Коппс-Хилл

От Старой Северной церкви мы пойдем по Тропе Свободы дальше к историческому могильнику Коппс-Хилл. Это историческое кладбище в северной части Бостона старше амбара... но всего на год!

Музей Конституции США

Наши последние несколько остановок немного дальше, через мост и на военно-морскую верфь Чарлстауна. Там мы увидим историческую и впечатляющую авианосец «Конститьюшн» и узнаем все о ее эпической битве против Герьера. В этом историческом месте мы более подробно изучим морские сражения Войны за независимость.

96

Памятник Банкер-Хилл

Наконец, мы пройдем по Тропе Свободы до памятника Банкер-Хилл, построенного в память о битве при Банкер-Хилле.
