Cradle of Liberty
Follow the red brick line — ten stops that started a country.
Boston keeps its revolution within walking distance: the Common where the army camped, the balcony where independence was first read aloud, the graves of Adams and Revere, the church that hung the two lanterns, and the oldest warship afloat on Earth. Follow the red brick line in the sidewalk — it was put there so you can't get lost, only tired.
The stops
America's oldest public park (1634) — redcoats camped here before Lexington. Team photo at the Frog Pond, minutemen poses.
Bulfinch's dome, gilded in 23-karat gold. Photo lined up so a teammate "polishes" the dome with a sleeve.
Sam Adams, John Hancock, and Paul Revere lie within fifty yards of each other. Find all three markers — one respectful photo each, coins stay in pockets.
Where 5,000 angry colonists launched the Tea Party on December 16, 1773. Best "and ANOTHER thing about this tea tax" speech pose at the door.
The Declaration was read to Boston from this balcony in July 1776; the Massacre happened below in 1770. Photo of the balcony + the Massacre circle in the pavement.
The meeting hall they call the Cradle of Liberty. Find the grasshopper weathervane on top — photo proving you spotted it.
The oldest house in downtown Boston (c. 1680), and the man rode from this door. Midnight-ride gallop photo in North Square.
Two lanterns in this steeple, April 18, 1775. Team recreates the signal — two phone flashlights held high, photographed from the courtyard.
The oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world (1797) — cannonballs bounced off her hull. Salute from the pier, whole crew.
"Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes." 294 steps to the top — summit photo or obelisk-base photo, but climbers earn the bragging rights. You've walked the revolution.
