I don't think I'd fully comprehended Boston's role in the American Revolution until I'd visited the sites within this park by using the Freedom Trail. So interesting and what a brave bunch of people.

A fascinating place, telling the tale of the life and assassination (right in the very building) of President Lincoln. Get there early to get a free ticket with a specific entry time.

You can almost touch the history here with loads of old things to look at as part of the structure that is there today. Don't miss the amazing stained glass windows or the four pillars by the holy table which date back to the 12th century.

A lovely spot in the old quarter, nice to see some of the town's past as most things here seem pretty modern. Don't try to get in though, they won't let you.

The dome here is pretty impressive, covered in real gold it shines a LOT when the sun hits it! Really interesting place, and you can really feel the weight of history here.
