Teacher Institute Participants

Boston National Historical Park welcomes teachers, parents, students and all educators to explore the park's wealth of resources. The major stories connected to the park's resources include the stirrings of the American Revolution and the establishment of one of the first U.S. Navy Shipyards. Our park resources and staff provide learning opportunities to explore these topics through this website, on-site education, public programs and professional development opportunities.

Tours, Talks & Trips
Boston National Historical Park offers ranger-guided talks and tours along the Freedom Trail sites. You and your group can also pick up a map and guide at one of our visitor centers, and enjoy the Freedom Trail as a self-guided adventure.

Education Programs
Boston National Historical Park offers many education programs, both full curriculum-based programs and shorter activities meant to complement a field trip to the site.

Summer Teacher Institute
