The Boston National Historical Park is a United States national park that consists of eight separate properties linked by Boston's Freedom Trail, which showcases the city's role in the American Revolution. The park, which was designated in 1974, is home to some of the city's biggest historic landmarks, including the famed Faneuil Hall, noted for its pro-independence speeches prior to the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. The city's 1723 Old North Church, the city's oldest operating religious institution, is connected to Paul Revere's famed midnight ride, along with Revere's preserved historic home, which is operated as a living history museum. Other landmarks include the 1713 Old State House, the Charleston Navy Yard, Dorchester Heights, the Bunker Hill Monument, and the Old South Meeting House. Visitor centers are operated at the first floor of Faneuil Hall and the Navy Yard, with guided tours of the Freedom Trail available throughout the week at both locations.
