Boston:
with my time getting Part 2 in Boston slowly away from me, I decided to explore my city. Last time I walked through the park and Beacon Hill walking. This time I explored Boston historic site.
Boston is one of the oldest cities in America, and has played an important role in our history. The first university was (1636 Harvard) founded here, the revolution started here the first public school was built here, and the first state constitution was written here. We have the Kennedys, Sam Adams, his beer and Aerosmith produced. Boston is rich in history.
You can get to see the historical sights of Boston from the town of Freedom Trail walk. The Freedom Trail begins at Boston Commons and takes you through the historic downtown area and harbor. A red brick Route leads your way, so you are never lost. The walk takes you through 16 historic sites and is about 2.5 miles long. So let's take a walk:
The path begins at the Boston Commons:
walk through the park, such as the way in this historic Capitol stops and the Robert Shaw Memorial. The State House is the home of the legislature and is characterized by its golden dome easy to recognize. The Shaw memorial commemorates the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, the first black military regiment. They fought for the Union in the Civil War and were known for their bravery and spirit. Most, including Commander Shaw, in the Battle of Fort Wagner were killed.
Then we turn around and go to the Park Street Church. Built in 1809, it was the site of many fire and brimstone Revival speeches during the Second Great Awakening, a Protestant revivalism. It is also the first place where the song "America" was sung on July 4, 1831.
Next to the church is a burial ground that some of Boston's most famous citizens contains -John Hancock, Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and the victims of the Boston massacre. Marker here to date as far back as the early 1700s.
on the road, we Chapel King's next meeting, which was founded in 1688. Paul Revere made the church bell, which is still in use today, and the cemetery of the Church there is the tomb of John Winthrop (first governor) and Mary Chilton (first woman to set foot off the Mayflower.) This tomb is one of the oldest in America.
goes on and go past Ben Franklin birth to Old State House. It was until 1789 when the new one was built, and it was used here that many of the debates about freedom and liberty held court before the Revolution. Outside these walls, the Boston Massacre took in 1770. The balcony in the photo is where the Declaration of Independence for the citizens of Boston read.
Next, Faneuil's hall, which is a busy place even today. No matter what time of day you go, crowds of locals and tourists are walking around. The Old Quincy Market building teeming with restaurants now, and during lunchtime, this place is wall to wall people. Outside entertain street performers lunchtime crowds, and at night, flooding the people in the many bars for a few after-work drinks. Faneuil Hall has a number of bars and is a major nightspot in town.
After a quick bite to eat Fang, we head north. For a long walk through the historic North End, now Italian section of Boston Here we can see Paul Revere birthplace and the famous Old North Church. Immortalized in a famous poem, this church is supposedly where Revere got the news of the British troops, so he could warn his fellow colonists.
Further north, we approach the end of our trip. the Charlestown Bridge over the Charles River After crossing, we set up our final stops. We go the oldest warship still in service, the USS Constitution, nicknamed Old Ironsides around. Still managed by an active Naval Department, this warship has since 1797.
in Service 
Finally, we finish in the Bunker Hill Memorial. The monument commemorates the famous Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775, where the ill-equipped colonists held their own against the British troops. The colonists turned back wave after wave of soldiers. Finally, but time and gunpowder ran out, and the colonists were defeated.
Wow! That was a long way. I'm tired now. I think I could take a cab back to Faneuil Hall for a drink.
As you can see, Boston has a lot of history. Beautiful parks, posh neighborhood of historic downtown-now you can see why Boston is so great.
