Should we remain a loyal colony, or break away and create a new country? This was the struggle that many Bostonians were wrestling with in the 1760s. See the sites that inspired a new nation and created the American identity along Boston’s Freedom Trail® with Rangers from Boston National Historical Park.
The struggle for freedom in Boston and the United States did not end in 1783 with the American Revolution. Join Rangers from Boston African American National Historic Site to learn about the continuing fight to expand freedoms for all Americans on the Black Heritage Trail. Hear their stories as you walk the same ground in Beacon Hill.
