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.
