Boston is considered as the historical city of the United States. In 1630, a group of colonists from England founded the city and it quickly became the political, financial, religious, and educational center of the New England region. Later, Boston became known as the “cradle of liberty”, where the Americans started the American Revolutionary war against Britain that would win them their independence.

There are numerous historical places that students may not know about, and they MUST SEE them before leaving this antique city. Today I visited a number of those historic places that I found interesting such as the Freedom Trail, the USS Constitution Museum, Fenway Park, and the African Meeting House, and I enjoyed being there.

The Freedom Trail

Local journalist William Schofield in 1951 recommended building a pedestrian trail to connect together vital local landmarks. By 1953, Boston Mayor John Hynes decided to take Schofield’s idea seriously and built the Freedom Trail.

The USS Constitution

The USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship in the world. The ship protected America for nearly an entire century.

The African Meeting House

In 1783, Massachusetts became the first U.S state to declare slavery illegal. As a result, Boston became a desired location for southern black slaves.

Fenway Park

Fenway Park is a baseball park for the Red Sox in Boston; it has been the home of the Red Sox since it opened in 1912. Moreover, Fenway Park is considered to be the oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball (MLB).
