Чого очікувати
1
Boston Common
Вирушайте в цю пригоду в революційне минуле Америки в центрі старого Бостона: Boston Common. Ця простора зелень була частиною міста з ранніх колоніальних початків. Ми почнемо екскурсію біля центру відвідувачів і знайдемо доріжку з червоної цегли. Дотримуючись цього шляху, ми зануримося в час до 1700-х років і встановимо сцену....
2
Будинок штату Массачусетс
Перша зупинка під час нашої екскурсії Стежкою свободи, викладеної червоною цеглою, знаходиться прямо на розі вулиці Бостон Коммон: Будинок штату Массачусетс! Ця будівля є як історичною, так і архітектурно прекрасною... і, звичайно, ми не можемо забути про її привабливий золотий купол! Ми зупинимось перед Будинком штату, щоб наздогнати пару ключових персонажів Війни за незалежність (і незабаром американських героїв) і трохи колоніальної історії. Ми також подивимось на Роберт Дж. Шоу та 54-й меморіал, який стоїть навпроти Державного будинку. Ким був Шоу і чим значний 54-й полк? Ми розглянемо всі ці деталі прямо тут.
3
Церква Парк Стріт
Від Будинку штату та Меморіалу Шоу ми продовжимо рух Стежкою Свободи. Це веде нас через Бостон-Коммон і виходить до церкви на Парк-стріт. Під час прогулянки ми зануримось у найважливіше питання: що спонукало до війни за незалежність? Розчищаючи шари, ми виявляємо, що битва за американську незалежність була однією падаючою доміно в довгому ланцюжку доміно, що тягнеться через кілька континентів і давніші війни...
4
Могильник амбару
Це приводить нас до справді стародавнього амбарного могильника! Заснований у 1660 році, це лише третій найстаріший могильник Бостона. Чи можете ви уявити, що змінилося за останні 400 років? Ну, по-перше, ця земля настільки стара, що на ній насправді знаходиться могила Матері-Гуски. Ми досі чуємо її історії! Ми також відвідаємо могили американських легенд, таких як Пол Ревір, Роберт Пейн і Джеймс Отіс. І ми також не можемо пропустити могили Джона Хенкока та Сема Адамса! Нарешті, ми відвідаємо могили загиблих у Бостонській різанині, одній зі сходинок до повномасштабної революції. Пізніше ми попрямуємо до місця цієї різанини.
5
Бостонська латинська школа
Від зерносховища ми продовжимо слідувати червоною цеглою Стежки свободи. По дорозі ми оглянемо Королівську каплицю та зупинимось перед Латинською школою. Це історичне місце містить кілька кумедних статуй, з якими можна позувати (включно з віслюком!) і досить багато багатої історії, у яку можна зануритися.
6
Бостонський меморіал голодомору в Ірландії
За кілька кроків униз від Латинської школи ми знайдемо Меморіал голодомору в Ірландії. Тут ми трохи пізніше перейдемо до історії Бостона та поговоримо про нову хвилю іммігрантів після революції. Ми дізнаємося про труднощі, з якими вони зіткнулися та які подолали... і де ці громади знаходяться сьогодні.
7
Старий південний будинок зборів
Через дорогу від Меморіалу голодомору в Ірландії ми знайдемо історичний Будинок зборів Старого півдня. Цю маленьку затишну будівлю легко не помітити, але ми зупинимося перед нею. Тут ми перенесемося назад у часі до однієї з найдоленосніших подій на початку Війни за незалежність... до Бостонського чаювання. Ми дізнаємося все про організаторів, їхню мотивацію та, звісно, ​​наслідки їхнього «чаювання».
8
Старий казенний будинок
Наша дорога з червоної цегли нарешті приводить нас до однієї з найпопулярніших зупинок на Шляху Свободи: Старого Державного Будинку. Ми зупинимося тут, щоб визначити ключові архітектурні особливості та дізнатися про їхнє значення (і довгу історію!). Тоді ми підемо на іншу сторону....
9
Місце бойні в Бостоні
... побачити місце сумнозвісної Бостонської різанини! Але чи була це різанина? Чи просто бунт, як казали англійці? Ми поринемо в захоплюючу історію, стоячи на тому самому місці, де розгорталася історія. Ми також дізнаємося про Кріспа Атакукса, шанованого американського героя.
10
Ринок Faneuil Hall
Ми підемо Стежкою свободи до іншого популярного місця відпочинку: Faneuil Hall і Quincy Market! Спочатку ми вивчимо захоплюючу історію сайту, а потім вивчимо його величезний вибір страв!
11
Сінний ринок
Продовжуючи нашу мандрівку викладеною червоною цеглою стежкою Свободи, ми також трохи зануримося в історію історичного Сінного ринку, нового вражаючого Меморіалу Голокосту попереду та приголомшливого краєвиду на вежу Митниці. поза межами. Ми дізнаємося трохи про кожне з цих місць, коли будемо йти до іншої популярної зупинки.
12
Будинок Пола Ревера
Наш шлях приводить нас до ще однієї популярної зупинки вздовж Стежки Свободи: Будинку Пола Ревера! Тут ми дізнаємося про знамениту «Опівнічну поїздку» Пола Ревіра, увіковічену у вірші Генрі Водсворт-Лонгфелло, а також про правди та міфи, що стоять за цією історичною подією.
13
Стара Північна церква й історичне місце
Від Будинку Пола Ревера ми підемо до Старої північної церкви. Це культове місце, де горіли ліхтарі «один, якщо по суші, два, якщо по морю», беззвучно сигналізуючи колоніальним революціонерам про рух британських військ.
14
Могильник Copp's Hill
Від Старої північної церкви ми підемо стежкою Свободи далі до історичного могильника Коппс-Хілл. Це історичне кладовище в Норт-Енді Бостона старше за зерносховище... але лише на рік!
15
Музей Конституції УСС
Наші останні кілька зупинок трохи далі, через міст і в Чарлстаунський флот. Там ми побачимо історичну та вражаючу конституцію USS — і дізнаємося все про її епічну битву проти Guerriere. Перебуваючи на цьому історичному місці, ми детальніше дослідимо морські битви Війни за незалежність.
16
Пам'ятник Bunker Hill
Нарешті ми підемо Стежкою Свободи до пам’ятника Банкер-Хілл, побудованого на честь битви при Банкер-Хілл. Ми обійдемо цей пагорб, досліджуючи місце цієї епічної битви та усвідомлюючи жорстокість і напруженість битви за свободу. Цей сайт є останнім у нашій комплексній екскурсії історичною стежкою свободи Бостона.
17
Freedom Trail

18
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....
19
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.
20
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...
21
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.
22
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.
23
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".
24
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....
25
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.
26
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!
27
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.
28
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.
29
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.
30
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!
31
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.
32
Bunker Hill Monument
Finally we'll follow the Freedom Trail up to the Bunker Hill Monument, built to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill.
