Boston (B2)

Jean and her family recently traveled to Boston, Massachusetts, one of America's oldest colonial cities. Boston is
rich in history and local personality. During their visit, Jean and her family appreciated learning about Boston's
role during the American Revolution.

In the city, Jean and her family followed the famous Freedom Trail. This is a 2.5-mile route that tourists can
explore in order to visit 16 different historical landmarks located throughout the city. Famous sites on this trail
include the Paul Revere House, King's Chapel, and the Bunker Hill Memorial. Jean and her family received a map
to navigate the Freedom Trail. The roads were clearly marked by red lines, and there were signs throughout the
city to keep Jean's family and other tourists from getting lost.

As part of the Freedom Trail, Jean and her family spent a lot of time in Boston's North End. This is one of the
oldest residential neighborhoods in the entire country. Here, Jean and her family were able to visit Boston Harbor,
which is the site of the historical Boston Tea Party. This event sent a strong message to the British leading up to
the American Revolution.

The end of the Freedom Trail led Jean and her Family to the Boston Common, the oldest urban park in the
nation. The park is filled with plenty of lush greenery, but it also serves as a burial ground for heroes of the
American Revolution. Because of their walk along the historical Freedom Trail, Jean and her family left Boston
with a thorough understanding of early American history.
