Historic

Boston is home to some of the most historic places in the United States, dating back to the American Revolution and beyond. Some of these include Faneuil Hall, Kings Chapel, Old South Meeting House, North Church, Trinity Church, and the Bunker Hill Monument. Many of them are a part of the famous Freedom Trail which is a 2.5 mile red line that links 18 historic sites downtown and in Charleston. (For additional information see Travel).
