Adjacent to the Park Street Church and part of the Freedom Trail, the Old Granary Burying Ground is the final resting place of a number of local heroes, including Paul Revere (see above), Samuel Adams, John Hancock as well as Benjamin Franklin's parents. There's some wonderful old headstones, as well as any number of squirrels. Leave a Comment Address: Park St

There's a red brick strip in the sidewalks that will take you around to the historic sites in the city center. Get one of the "Where Boston" guides that comes in hotels and tourist kiosks and that will tell you about the things you will see along your walk. It's a good introduction and orientation to Boston. The downtown is more compact than it looks on the maps. Leave a Comment

Rebuilt in 1713 due to a fire in 1711, it was the meeting place of colonial & state government for half a century. Today, it's the headquarters of the Bostonian Society.
The Declaration of Independence was read from this building's balcony on July 18, 1776. It's the first public reading in Massachusetts.
This building also served as State Capitol until 1798.
The Freedom Trail is a 3 mile red-painted path which connects Boston's historic sights from Boston Common to Bunker Hill Monument. Some of the sights on this path are:
1. King's Chapel.
2. Faneuil Hall.
3. Paul Revere House.
4. Copp's Hill Burying Ground.
5. USS Constitution.
6. Boston Common.

Whale watching (could be boaring if the whlaes aren't in the mood to jump arround...)
Walking through the Back Bay and Beacon Hill
During these activities you'll see beautiful old Boston. In the Back Bay and the Beacon Hill you'll find many little shops and restaurants in the old Irish style.
The best thing during whale watching is that you can see the skyline of Boston!! Leave a Comment Directions: www.boston.com Whale watching is at the Harbor. Follow the Freedom trail you will pass the Harbor...

Built in 1713 and is Boston's oldest public building. It served as the headquarters for the British government in Boston. The public could watch government in action when a gallery opened here in 1766. In 1776 the Declaration of Independence was read from the balcony.

(1.) THE FREEDOM TRAIL -- just follow the red line on the sidewalk, and it will lead you to just about all of the major historical sites in Boston! A good place to start is Park St. T-stop (we call our subway 'the T'), which is right in downtown Boston.
(2.) THE U.S.S. CONSTITUTION, America's oldest commissioned warship, is docked at Charlestown Navy Yard. I'm not overly fond of things military, but this ship really is worth seeing! It was affectionately named 'Old Ironsides', because enemy cannonballs used to bounce right off the sides.
(3.) THE NORTH END, where you will probably hear more Italian spoken than English, especially on market day. Italian restaurants, cafes and bakeries galore... This area is definitely not to be missed on 'feast days'. Leave a Comment
