From Boston Common and the Massachusetts State House to Faneuil Hall, Paul Revere's House, the Old North Church, and the Bunker Hill Monument, these iconic landmarks tell the incredible story of the fight for American independence. But this isn't just a history tour. We'll also explore the fascinating geology hidden beneath Boston and discover how Ice Age glaciers shaped the city's famous drumlins.
