THE FREEDOM TRAIL
-Faneuil Hall
A Boston
National Historical Park cooperating site
**This
old market building, first built in 1742, sits at the site of the old town
dock. Town meetings, held here between 1764 and 1774, heard Samuel Adams and
others lead cries of protest against the imposition of taxes on the colonies.
The building was enlarged in 1806. Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison,
and Lucy Stone brought their struggles for freedom here in the 19th century.
Market stalls on the first floor service shoppers much as they did in Paul
Revere's day.
