We'll see sites on Boston's Freedom Trail, and get a closer look by leaving the car and walking inside some locations (depends on day and hours of operation for some sites). We'll board the USS Constitution (closed Mondays), go inside King's Chapel (seasonal open hours, excluding Sunday), with an option to enter Old South Meeting House. A close-up experience in the oldest neighborhoods of the North End, Beacon Hill, School Street, and Charlestown. Our tour is a look at places, events and people in different periods of the settlement of Boston, and the beginning of the American Revolution. The livery insured vehicle will get us to all the spots on our tour. Walking the sites gives a more detailed sense of the historic sites in Boston. If weather doesn't cooperate we can edit the walking portions according to your wishes. A favorite stop is going inside Faneuil Hall to the Great Hall Meeting Room and the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company Museum (hours vary).
We will drive to the State House, then drive across Beacon Hill, along Mt. Vernon Street, Louisville Square, Acorn Street, and east on Beacon Street to Col. Robert Gould Shaw and the Massachusetts 54th Regiment Monument. We continue on Beacon Street past the Harding House, the Boston Athenaeum, to Tremont and School Streets.
