[The Freedom Trail]
In 1958, concerned Bostonians were determined to preserve the story of the American Revolution as it began in Boston through preservation of 16 historically significant sites related to events of the Revolutionary era. These sites are found along a unique three- mile urban walking Trail which is marked   with a bricked or painted red line on the streets of Boston. Designated a Millennium Trail in 2000, the Freedom Trail today is an integral  part of the modern city and contributes tremendous economic value to Boston and the Commonwealth through education, tourism, and preservation programs. As the Freedom Trail enters its second half century, it can proudly celebrate that it has become the signature historic experience in New England - attracting over three million people annually - and has succeeded in preserving the story of the American Revolution and the ideals of freedom of speech, religion, government and self-determination for all America.

We can have a great trip by following the Freedom Trail.
If we follow the Freedom Trail, we can find good places more easily and we can see one's living environment. From walking the Freedom Trail and around Boston, we learned about the American Revolution and more about American culture.

It is wide and fine.
We can buy the commemoration item at the visiter center.

travelers saw when approaching Boston.
It's high so we can see it easily.

built the hall as a center of commerce in 1742.

Paul Revere is a hero of 'Midnight Ride'.


[Old North Church]
It is the oldest standing church building in Boston.  
Its 191 foot steeple is the tallest in Boston and 
its prominence played a dramatic role in the American Revolution.

This is Paul Revere's statue.
He warned about the enemy invasion, and won the war.

He looked like a real person and a little scary.
He has painted stars on his face.

There was an accident.
Mark kicked the coffee cup
 and coffee fell down on the Jen's foot.




We had to cross the  big bridge.
It's a little scary but the scenery was beautiful.
We took a picture and ran fast!


[Charlestown Navy Yard]
We crossed the bridge and arrived here!
There are ships USS Constitution and Caassin Young.
It is at the side of the sea and it's nice!



[USS Constitution]
We had to do a security check to go inside.
It is an old warship made out of wood.
It was used 200 years ago and now we can see it.
It's really strong!!

We took a picture with a real navy guide!!


Mark fell down at the stairs of the ship.
And we took a picture together!!

When we asked him, "How to go to Bunker Hill?"
he made us sing a song for him. 
And then he showed the way.
He is very funny and kind.





[Bunker Hill Monument]
The completion of the Monument was in 1775.
Its height is 67 meters and inside, there are 294 stairs.
