From there we went to Faneuil Hall. It is famous for the freedom of speech there. Locals met there in 1764 to object to teh Sugar Act. Samuel Adams' speech in 1772 stirring up anti-British feelings was particularly provocative.
Behind the Hall is Quincy Market, full of shops and restaurants it is Boston's own version of Covent Garden though Bostonians claim theirs was there first.
It's a bit of a longer walk to the next stop - Paul Revere's house. Paul Revere was talented at lots of things but is most famous for his horse-ride to Lexington in 1775 to warn that the British were coming. His house is the oldest still standing in Boston (1680).
Around the corner from his house is the Old North Church. Sexton Robert Newman had to flash laterns to fellow patriots to warn if teh British were coming. This is the oldest church in Boston (1723).
Up the hill from teh church you come to Copp's Hill Burying Ground. No real famous graves here but lots of old ones. You can see the damage made to the headstones made by the British soldiers who used them as target practice.
You have another longer walk then to teh USS Constitution. There were long queues to get on this due to the Security (it was as bad as an airport). This is still a commissioned ship in the US Navy.
We then had a final climb to the Bunker Hill Monument - a 221 foot tall monument commemorating the first major battle of the revolutionary war which was fought on the hill on 17 June 1775.
