Boston's Freedom Trail

Follow the yellow brick road!  
Follow the yellow brick road!  
Follow, follow, follow, follow 
Follow the yellow brick road! 


...except in Boston.  

If you only do one thing, you must follow the red brick road of Boston's Freedom Trail.  I did exactly that when I accompanied Tim on his business trip to Boston last week.  And I have the pictures to prove it!

1.  Boston Common

2.  The Massachusetts State House
3.  Park Street Church

4.  The Granary Burying Ground where Paul Revere & Samuel Adams are buried

5.  King's Chapel & Burying Ground

6.  Benjamin Franklin's statue and the Old Latin School, the first public school in the U.S.

7.  The Old Corner Book Store (now a Chipotle restaurant)

8.  The Old Meeting House is currently undergoing restoration work.  

9.  The Old State House

10.  The site of the Boston Massacre

11.  Faneuil Hall

12.  Paul Revere's House

Mike's Pastry is not on the Freedom Trail but it's only steps away.
No visit to Boston is complete unless one eats a cannoli from Mike's.

13.  Old North Church & Paul Revere's statue. 
14.  Copp's Hill Burying Ground

A view of Bunker Hill from the bridge crossing the Charles River


15.  Bunker Hill Monument

16.  USS Constitution

The Freedom Trail ends at the USS Constitution Museum.
Thanks for joining me on the Freedom Trail!
