Boston has more historical sites related to the #americanrevolution and America’s fight for independence than any other city. One of the must-do activities is visiting the 16 historical sites along the Freedom Trail.
I went further, following the Paul Revere and British Army routes from #boston to #Concord battlefield. But I was surprised by what people nowadays do there!
