| Discover the revolutionary generation of Bostonians who blazed a trail
from colonialism to independence. Boston National Historical Park is an
association of sites that together give the visitor a coherent view of the
city's role in the nation's history. In downtown Boston, Old South Meeting House, Old State House, Faneuil Hall, the Paul Revere House and Old North Church bring to life the American ideals of freedom of speech, religion, government, and self-determination. In Charlestown, visit the Bunker Hill Monument, the site of the first major battle of the American Revolution, the Charlestown Navy Yard, one of the nation's first naval shipyards and the USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world. Bunker Hill is the site of the first major battle of the American Revolution and is one of the most significant historic sites in Boston. The monument was built between 1825 and 1843 and is the oldest major monument in the United States. The site, a National Historic Landmark, with annual visitation of 196,000 is in need of major rehabilitation and enhanced interpretive facilities. The Bunker Hill Museum, a three story historic brick building, is located directly across the street from the site. The project will seek to develop the museum as a primary interpretive center to convey the drama and importance of the battle as well as a place, in partnership with the community, to showcase local Charlestown history. Seven of the eight privately, municipally and federally owned and managed historic sites that comprise Boston National Historical Park are connected by the Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile (4km) walking tour of 16 sites and structures of historic importance in downtown Boston and Charlestown. Located in South Boston and separate from the Freedom Trail, Dorchester Heights is significant for its role in the evacuation of the British from Boston during the Revolutionary War. |
