This 90-minute walking tour covers 11 historic sites along Boston's Freedom Trail. A guide dressed in Revolutionary War-era costume leads the group, providing historical information and ensuring the route is easy to follow. The tour begins at Park Street Church, where early Puritanism evolved into Protestant abolitionism. Next, it moves to Boston Common, the city's first public park, with stories about Boston's early days. The group then visits the Massachusetts State House, built in 1795, symbolizing government based on the people's consent. At Granary Burying Ground, a cemetery over 350 years old, the guide highlights graves of more U.S. Constitution signers than anywhere else in the country. The tour continues to King's Chapel, originally an Anglican church from about 1688, followed by Boston Latin School, the oldest public school in the United States, founded in 1635. The Old South Meeting House is next, known for meetings held before the Boston Tea Party in 1773. Afterward, the group sees the Old State House, built in 1713, which was first controlled by the British and then taken over by Americans in 1775. The Boston Massacre Site, where five colonists died in 1770, is included with narration about Paul Revere’s engraving. The tour concludes at Faneuil Hall Marketplace, a historic marketplace featuring a statue of Samuel Adams, a founder of the American Revolution. The walk involves a moderate amount of walking and standing. All fees and taxes are included. Participants should dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes.
