Neal Family Vacation to Boston, MA (Day 1: Monday)

We embarked on the Freedom Trail. We saw the New State House, only in boston would a 200+ year old building be called new, but there you go.

Then we went to the Park Street church/meeting house.

Then on to the Granery Burial Ground. This is where Paul Revere, John Hancock and a raft of other famous people are buried.

This was put into mark the place of the first public school in the New World. Ben Franklin is probably the most famous drop-out of this school. Other attendees included John and Samuel Adams, John Hancock and more.


















Then it was on to the Old South Meeting house. Many a meeting took place here to discuss the subject of revolution and Independence from England.

Then one of the more fascinating buildings and sites in Boston, the Old State House

It was here in this square where the Boston Massacre took place and the crowds gathered for the reading of the Declaration of Independence.

We ended up at Fanueil (prounouced by Bostonians as fannel) Hall. A market on the first floor, a grand meeting hall on the second and the attic is the home to the Armory Musuem of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company. That statue is Samuel Adams the "Architect of the Revolution".







Very tired feet. Lots of walking.
