As we continued to walk The Freedom Trail - http://www.thefreedomtrail.org/visitor/visitor.html we passed by Kings Chapel and the burial ground next to it, where the first female off the Mayflower is buried. Also is the woman who inspired Nathaniel Hawthorn to write The Scarlet Letter. After Kings Chapel, we passed the Old South Meeting House where the Patriots planned The Boston Tea Party. Soon we passed The Old State House and the area where stones in the ground commemorate the place where the Boston Massacre took place. This album ends with a picture of the doorway to Faneuil Hall. This was a market place that was built in 1742. During the years between 1763 and 1774 many important meetings of the patriots took place in the assembly room on the second floor. And on the morning after the Boston Massacre the victims were taken to this place where their funerals were held two days later.
There will be two more albums of pictures I took walking The Freedom Trail.
