Historic Boston Landmarks

Boston's historical landscape features the 2.5-mile Freedom Trail connecting 17 American Revolution sites. Key landmarks include the 1680 Paul Revere House, the Old North Church (1723) with its revolutionary lantern signals, and the Old State House (1713). Architectural highlights range from Beacon Hill’s federal-style brick row houses to the Dorchester Heights National Historic Site. The city also preserves significant memorials, such as the site of the 1770 Boston Massacre and the Ether Monument, which commemorates the first use of anesthesia.
