Freedom Trail- Boston, Massachusetts


So this one appeals to my inner history lover. It is a 2.5 mile long red brick path through Boston with stops at different notable historical locations:
Boston Common
Massachusetts State House
Park Street Church
Granary Burying Ground
King's Chapel
King's Chapel Burying Ground
Benjamin Franklin statue and former site of the first public school, Boston Latin School
Old Corner Bookstore
Old South Meeting House
Old State House
Site of the Boston Massacre
Faneuil Hall
Paul Revere House
Old North Church
Copp's Hill Burying Ground
Bunker Hill Monument
USS Constitution

Most of these are free, but a few require a small price or ask for a donation. I feel as though seeing these monuments to our history and how our country came to be is important and lets face it these monuments won't be around forever.
