History on Every Corner

Today I followed Sarah Adams, a lovely
woman dressed in 1700s era clothing around downtown Boston. No, I
wasn’t dreaming: it was the Freedom Trail tour! Boston truly is one
of the richest historical cities in America. As we meandered
through the bustling streets we traveled to the cemetery where Sam
Adams himself is buried, to the North Church where great,
independent thinkers met to discuss hot political issues, and even
to the site of the Boston Massacre. After we brushed up on our
history through impromptu quizzes for Blow-Pops, it became even
clearer to me that the American Revolution really did start here in
this great city. Even though the “shot heard ‘round the world” came
from North Bridge in Concord, Bostonians fanned the great fire and
they’re sure proud of it.
