Freedom Trail

A 2.5-Mile Trail Hosting 16 Sites Pertaining To The Revolutionary War. You Could Take A Costumed Guided Tour Or, More Appealingly, Download A Map And Follow Your Own Itinerary. If You Have Limited Time, Concentrate On Those Sites In And Immediately Around The North End, Which Is Also Boston's Little Italy. Among Them Are The Home Of Paul Revere, Where You'll Get A Good Sense Of How People Lived In 1770s (In A Word, Closely; The House Is Really Small). You Can Also Drop By The Old North Church, Where Those Two Famous Lanterns Warned Paul Revere The British Were Coming By Sea In 1775, Essentially Igniting The American Revolution. Nearby Are The Old State House Museum And Faneuil Hall Marketplace.
