What great history and landmarks Boston has!




Boston has so many famous landmarks that you can learn about and visit but there is one landmark you have to visit when in Boston. The Freedom Trail which is a 2.5 mile red brick walking trail, which takes you to sixteen historical landmarks in Boston. Nowhere in the country can you walk a trail to so many historical landmarks in one area. The Freedom Trail is made up of museums, meeting houses, burying grounds, churches, parks, a ship and historic markers that tell the story of Boston. Tavia Malone who is the Business Manager of the Freedom Trail says “the Freedom Trail was the first and now cities all over the world try to duplicate what we have in Boston”


I have already talked about one of the sixteen landmarks on the Freedom Trail in Boston. There are two other landmarks that I want to talk about. First is Bunker Hill Monument which is at the top of my list when it comes to landmarks in Boston because it is where the Colonial Militia showed that they could fight against the British military and show the Colonies would not give up. The other Boston landmark that is one of my favorites is Old North Church which is known in Boston has Christ Church in the City of Boston. The Old North Church played an important role in the American Revolution which is legendary. The Church was used to warn the countryside how the British were advancing. Paul Revere told Robert Newman a church sexton how many lanterns to put out in the church steeple.
