Boston National Historical Park

Boston National Historical Park spans 43 acres and contains eight designated landmarks including the Old State House, Faneuil Hall, and the Paul Revere House distributed across downtown. These buildings are connected by walking routes through the city center.

The park preserves critical moments of the American Revolution through buildings and monuments from the 1770s. These sites document the events that led to the founding of the United States.

The Freedom Trail links multiple historical structures where visitors discover colonial daily life and early American governance through guided presentations and displays.

Two visitor centers at Faneuil Hall and Boston Navy Yard offer maps and guided tours. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended since exploring the sites involves walking through the city.

The USS Constitution at Charlestown Navy Yard is the world's oldest active naval vessel and operates as a museum. Visitors can board and explore the ship's interior.
