The trail then passes the Boston Latin School (the country’s oldest public school), attended by five signers of the Declaration of Independence, including Benjamin Franklin, whose statue stands outside. The Old Corner Bookstore, built in 1718 and once the seat of Boston’s esteemed literary scene, is currently a fast-food restaurant. No such fate has befallen the Old South Meeting House. You can head inside to see where 5,000 colonists (including Sam Adams) debated the fate of a certain shipment of tea in 1773. Grander still is the Old State House. Built in 1713 to house the colony’s government, it became the epicentre of events that triggered the revolution. In 1776 the Declaration of Independence was proclaimed from its balcony – and still is, every 4 July.
