On the self-guided Freedom Trail, tourists pass historic sites like the 1680 Paul Revere House and the Old North Church, which played a key role at the beginning of the Revolutionary War. Italian restaurants, coffeehouses, pastry shops and old-school delis pack the area, especially on lively Hanover Street. Boston and its North End offer a veritable surfeit of historical sites and stories! Each epoch has left an indelible impact on commerce, customs, religious traditions, politics and institutions – in sum – upon the very city and neighborhoods that we know today. The heart of the Freedom Trail is in the North End neighborhood and walked by 3.2 million visitors each year. The historic walking path was organized in 1951 when 16 sites were “linked” to better tell Boston’s story of the American Revolution. Overseen by The Freedom Trail Foundation, the distinctive red line weaves through 2.5 miles of downtown Boston. In the North End, heading north, the Freedom Trail comes from Haymarket and Blackstone Street through the Greenway parks to Cross Street. The path then heads down Hanover Street, taking a short detour through North Square to pass the Paul Revere House before returning to Hanover Street. At St. Stephen’s Church, the path turns into the Prado – Paul Revere Mall park past Cyrus E. Dallin’s famous equestrian statue of Paul Revere to the Old North Church on Salem Street. From Old North, the trail heads up Hull Street to Copp’s Hill Burying Ground before heading out of the North End toward Charlestown. The Harborwalk is a free public walkway along the waterfront with parks, public art, seating areas, cafes, exhibit areas, interpretive signage, water transportation facilities and a wide range of other amenities. In 1984, the Boston Redevelopment Authority joined in partnership with the Harborpark Advisory Committee and The Boston Harbor Association to initiate Harborpark focus on the revitalization of Boston’s waterfront. When completed, the HarborWalk will stretch some 46.9 linear miles along wharves, piers, bridges, beaches and shoreline from Chelsea Creek to the Neponset River. In the North End, the Harborwalk is largely completed and among the most well-maintained and highly visited in the city. It encompasses the wharves along Boston Harbor (Battery Wharf, Burroughs Wharf, Lincoln Wharf, Union Wharf, Lewis Wharf, Sargent’s Wharf, Constellation Wharf, Commercial Wharf, Long Wharf, Central Wharf, India Wharf and Rowes Wharf) and several parks including Puopolo Park, Langone Park and Christopher Columbus Park. It also includes Mirabella Pool, Steriti Memorial Skating Rink and the New England Aquarium. The Coast Guard Base Harborwalk has recently re-opened through an entrance adjacent to Mirabella Pool and includes a circular sitting area and wooden pier, open from May through November. A pocket museum can also be found at the recently completed Battery Wharf. This information was sourced from BostonHarborwalk
