Faneuil Hall
Walking along the Freedom Trail and visiting the historic sites along the way is one of the most popular ways to experience the city and Boston National Historical park.

Brochures and maps are available to provide a self-guiding experience in the park. Groups or individuals may walk Boston’s Freedom Trail to historical sites within the park including the Old South Meeting House, Old State House, Faneuil Hall, Paul Revere House, Old North Church, Granary Burial Grounds, Copps’ Hill Burial Grounds, Bunker Hill Monument and the Charlestown Navy Yard (where the USS Constitution is berthed).

Did You Know?

Lucy Stone

The request to reserve Faneuil Hall on December 16, 1873, identified the event as a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. In truth, Suffragette Lucy Stone held the first women's suffragette meeting in the "Cradle of Liberty." She surprised many with her real agenda that day.
