Walk the Freedom Trail the first time you visit Boston and you'll quickly get a sense of this coastal city's revolutionary spirit and history. But make sure you also explore some of Boston's fine museums (try the Isabella Stewart Gardner, featuring masterpieces displayed in their collector's mansion) and old neighborhoods (like the North End, Boston's Little Italy). You can't claim to have experienced real Boston culture, though, until you've watched a Red Sox game from the bleachers.

There's a reason why Samuel Adams stands on a pedestal in front of Faneuil Hall: this was his soap box, his platform to rally the patriots and lament the litany of grievances against Britain. He did it with such effectiveness, even while suffering from the tremors of palsy (Parkinson's or Cerebral Palsy). In 1773 he opined: "it does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority." Today he stands in front of the meeting place of the Patriots where he was a very major speaker and strong opponent against taxation without representation. In 1773, he expounded: "anyone who aids or abets the unloading, receiving, or vending the tea is an enemy to America." From there, the next big event was his Indian whoops at Old South Meeting Place which signaled the time had come to dispose of the tea in the harbor. Samuel Adams's countenance deserves to grace the front of Faneuil Hall. He was the conductor/engineer of our Revolution.

You gotta love all the “burying grounds” in Boston - such fascinating history! And while the King’s Chapel burying grounds are smaller and less known, they still hold some notable internments, such as Mary Chilton (a Plymouth Pilgrim and the first European woman to step ashore in New England!) and the father of Ralph Waldo Emerson and also Hezekiah Usher (the first bookseller and book publisher in the British Colonies)! It’s Boston’s oldest burying ground and is a stop on the Freedom Trail. It’s an incredibly peaceful place in spite of being right smack in the middle of the bustling city. And so many of the headstones are truly beautiful works of art! And so old wow - I had no idea we had such history right here in the States lol! It’s easy to find, right off a busy main street in the city. I’m not sure about parking as my hotel was right in the heart of the city and I didn’t have a car...the city is so walkable and there are public parking garages scattered about.
