Boston Freedom Trail & North End Walking Tour

Start at Boston Common with
a guide in colonial costume

Meet your colonial-costumed historian at the official visitor center in Boston Common, America's first public park, and begin the tour. Pass the Massachusetts State House and Park Street Church as you step into Boston's colonial history.

See the burial grounds and sites of the Founding Fathers

Pass the Granary Burying Ground and King's Chapel Burying Ground, where America's founders rest, and hear their stories. You'll also see the site of Boston Latin School, America's first public school, the Benjamin Franklin statue and the Old Corner Bookstore.

Pass the Boston Massacre site and Faneuil Hall

Explore the Old South Meeting House, linked to the Boston Tea Party, the Old State House and the site of the Boston Massacre. Discover the historic sites packed into the 2.1 km (1.3 miles) between Boston Common and Faneuil Hall, then arrive at Faneuil Hall, Boston's most visited spot.

Continue the story of the Revolution in the North End

Go past Faneuil Hall into Boston's historic North End to visit the Paul Revere House and see the Old North Church. Walk lesser-visited streets as the story of the Revolution continues, and finish the tour at the Paul Revere Mall.
