Granary Burying Ground

Established in 1660, the Granary Burying Ground is one of Boston's most historic cemeteries. Named for a grain storage building that once stood where Park Street Church is today, it is the final resting place for an estimated 5,000 people.
King's Chapel

King’s Chapel, Boston’s first Anglican church, was founded in 1686 and houses America’s oldest pulpit in continuous use. The current stone building, completed in 1754, replaced the original wooden chapel.
Old State House

The Old State House is one of Boston’s most significant historic landmarks and the site of key events leading to the American Revolution. Built in 1713, it served as the seat of colonial government and later witnessed the Boston Massacre in 1770.
Faneuil Hall Marketplace
Pass by

Faneuil Hall, often called the “Cradle of Liberty,” has played a vital role in American history since 1742. It hosted revolutionary speeches by figures like Samuel Adams and James Otis, fueling the movement for independence.

Old North Church & Historic Site
Pass by

The Old North Church, built in 1723, is Boston’s oldest surviving church and a key landmark of the American Revolution. Best known for its role in Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride, it was here that two lanterns were hung on April 18, 1775, signaling that British troops were advancing by sea.
USS Constitution Museum

The USS Constitution Museum preserves the legacy of USS Constitution, the world’s oldest commissioned warship afloat. Located near the historic ship, the museum offers interactive exhibits, artifacts, and stories about the ship’s construction, battles, and crew.
