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 its 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.

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

8

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 get into all of those details right here.

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 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...

122

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.

123

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.

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

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!

133

Our last few stops are a little farther along, over the bridge and into the Charlestown Navy Yard.

Memorial Hall

Next up: the imposing High Victorian Gothic Memorial Hall. This is the most beautiful building on campus, without contest.

136

What did a far-away international war have to do with the price of tea in Boston?

Первая остановка в нашем туре по Тропе Свободы из красного кирпича находится прямо на углу Бостон-Коммон: Государственный дом штата Массачусетс!

181

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?

Бэнк Стрит Бич

Затем наш объезд Харвича приведет нас к пляжу Бэнк-Стрит, идеальному месту, чтобы расслабиться или окунуться в Атлантический океан.

226

Пляж первой встречи

Продолжая спускаться по мысу, мы прибудем на пляж первой встречи, где произошла драматическая стычка между Наусетом и Пилигримами. На пляже теперь есть мемориальная доска, посвященная встрече и возможному перемирию.

227

Чуть дальше мы прибудем в информационный центр Salt Pond. Этот миниатюрный музей — прекрасная возможность узнать больше об истории Кейптауна, воспользоваться ванной или просто размять ноги.

228

Маяк Наусет

По мере того, как мы продолжаем движение вверх по мысу, мы заметим свет Наусет, причудливый маленький маяк, который изображен на каждой типичной фотографии Кейп-Код. Мы также узнаем о его важности и о том, как бурные воды мыса получили прозвище «океанское кладбище» до того, как был построен маяк.

229

Маяки Три сестры

Продолжая движение, мы подойдем к трем приземистым белым маякам, которые называются «Маяки Трех сестер». Особенность этих маяков в том, что они вовсе не на берегу! На самом деле они расположены среди зарослей деревьев довольно далеко в глубине суши. Узнайте, почему это так и как они там оказались. Мы также узнаем о том, как мыс превратился из земли Наусет в колониальные рыбацкие городки, а затем из рыбацких городков в туристическую точку.

230

Парк и пляж Stage Fort

Мы также можем прогуляться по этому району перед поездкой, любуясь прекрасным видом на парк, океан и город.

231

Найлс Бич

Проезжая по живописной набережной Кейп-Энн, мы откроем для себя как большие, так и маленькие пляжи. Мы можем остановиться на одном, на некоторых или на всех, когда узнаем больше об уникальности каждого из них.

232

Бопорт, Дом Слипера-Макканна

Beauport, также известный как Sleeper-McCann House, Little Beauport или Henry Davis Sleeper House, представляет собой красивый исторический дом, спрятанный на набережной Кейп-Энн. Пока мы едем, мы окунемся в историю Кейп-Энн.

233

Маяк Истерн-Пойнт

В начале 1800-х годов морская торговля в Глостере процветала. Корабли, курсирующие между этими портами и Китаем или Индией, приносили огромную прибыль, и капитаны начали особенно беспокоиться из-за перспективы потерять свой чрезвычайно ценный груз в результате кораблекрушения. Введите: маяки!

234

Рокпорт

Наша живописная поездка вдоль мыса Энн покидает Глостер и приводит нас в Рокпорт. Мы узнаем больше о Рокпорте и регионе по дороге.

235

Шея из медвежьей шкуры

Эта земля когда-то была домом для большого количества медведей, но не волнуйтесь! Их уже давно нет. Согласно легенде, один такой медведь был пойман приливом и убит в 1700 году, поэтому это место и получило свое название.
