What Is Boston National Historical Park?
This 43-acre, multi-site park protects important spots in Boston’s history from the Revolutionary Bunker Hill and Dorchester Heights to the historic ships, the U.S.S. Constitution and U.S.S. Cassin Young!
What Makes It Historical?
Boston National Historical Park was established on October 1, 1974 as a park of partnerships! While the National Park Service took over management of the Bunker Hill Monument, Charlestown Navy Yard, and Dorchester Heights, where the British evacuated Boston during the Revolution, many of Boston’s important historic sites continue to be run privately, in partnership with the NPS! Those include a visitor center at Faneuil Hall, as well as the Old South Meetinghouse, Old State House, Paul Revere House, and Old North Church!
