The trip for the Massachusetts State House



Today, we take the subway reach to Massachusetts State House. This is my first visit to State House;standing in the doorway of the time can tell that he's solemn and stately. The Old State House is a historic legislative building located at the intersection of Washington and State Streets in Boston. It is the oldest surviving public building in Boston, and the seat of the first elected legislature in the New World.






And then, the instructor led us from one to another visit to Old State House. Which most of the work presented here before the people, i do not have to follow the footsteps of lectures to visit, because some of the local scenery let me linger.






I think today let me learn more about Boston's local culture, although the United States than in China's history is not long, but the U.S. also includes a deep culture. In fact, the Massachusetts State House make me expression.

Trip for Federal Reserve Bank of Boston


In last Friday, we arrived at the forth trip in Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. From the looks of the band building is spectacular.
We first take the subway did not take long to arrive later to the bank, and go after our people first by the bank to give me presentation. This presentation to make most of the students are sleepy, maybe he speaks very good instead. Then watched a video about the bulk of the story because of the banks, then the time to ask questions, students did not ask some questions over.
After the 2 hours to understand, on the banks generally have a preliminary understanding, but I do not and want a more in-depth to understand it as just a bank only. This is the day of the trip,I looking forward to the next new place.

The Freedom Trial-Copp's Hill



Today we begin another new journey, and this journey related to Freedom Trail in Boston. Due to it's size, Boston is a very accessible city, but it may be that it's reputation as a walking city lies on creation of one of America's first historic walking tours, The Freedom Trial.




The Freedom Trial is a 2.5 mile red brick walking trail that leads you to 16 nationally significant historic sites, every one an authentic American treasure. Preserved and dedicated by the citizens of Boston in 19258, when the wrecking ball threatened, the Freedom Trail today is a unique collection of museums, churches, meeting houses, burying grounds, parks, a ship, and historic markers that tell the story of the American Revolution and beyond.That is a Freedom Trail.




Although have too many sites, nevertheless we also finished all journey in this hot Summer. Walk along this road have been listening to the students on their presentation, for each places has a little understanding, because our journey as soon as quickly so we can not put every place can be more understanding. In this way has historical or architectural sculpture, of which I am most difficult to forget that The Old State House Museum. This building was the center of Boston's civix life in the 18th century and the scene of some most dramatic charters in the lead-up to the American Revolution.

My presentation will talking about Copp's Hill. The Copp's Hill named after shoemaker William Copp, Copp's Hill Burying Ground is the final resting place of merchants, artisans and crafts people who lived in the North End. Located on a hill on which a windmill once stood, the land was given to the town. Copp's Hill was Boston's largest colonial burying ground, dating from 1659. Also there most of the people buried in Copp's Hill are ordinary Bostonians. we can find out from this has a historical road get we need, because there has too much fantastic to make ue linger.
