Full Version: Boston: Self-Guided Audio Walk Through Revolutionary Boston
This self-guided audio walking tour explores Boston’s Revolutionary past along the Freedom Trail. It is ideal for first-time visitors, history lovers, and travelers curious about how key events of the American Revolution unfolded in the streets, churches, burying grounds, and meeting houses of one city.
The route begins at Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown, where the early battle for Boston is remembered, then continues to USS Constitution, the famed warship launched in 1797. From there, the walk crosses into the North End to visit Copp’s Hill Burying Ground, Old North Church, the Paul Revere House, and the Pierce-Hichborn House before heading into downtown Boston.
In the city center, the tour follows the story of protest and independence through the Samuel Adams Memorial, the Boston Massacre Site, Old South Meeting House, Old Corner Bookstore, the Boston Latin School and Benjamin Franklin Statue, King’s Chapel, King’s Chapel Burying Ground, Park Street Church, and Boston Common. The tour ends at the Liberty Tree memorial, where resistance to British rule found one of its strongest symbols.
Along the way, the most memorable moments include standing beneath the granite obelisk at Bunker Hill, seeing the lantern church tied to Paul Revere’s ride, walking past some of Boston’s oldest graves, and tracing the path from fiery protest to independence.
