First Time on the Freedom Trail

Well, our bus dropped us off on the Beacon Hill side of the Boston Commons and we were shown the Massachusetts  State House. Fr. Chip organized a group photo. (The ornament on top of the State House is a pine cone, and you thought we were not listening).  

 Then we were treated to a walking tour of Beacon Hill. What beautiful homes!  We stopped by Sec. of State Kerry's house but he was not home.


After Beacon Hill we wound our way past the Grannery grave yard where Paul revere and the five victims of the Boston massacre are buried. Then further down the Freedom Trail past the old city hall and to the site of the Boston Massacre. Elizabeth coordinated our own reenactment and as you can see it was very authentic.
