Faneuil Hall Visitor Center
Address: 1 Faneuil Hall Square, Boston, MA 02109
This Beacon Hill site preserves 15 pre-Civil War structures tied to Boston's free Black community, linked by the 1.6-mile Black Heritage Trail. Highlights include the 1806 African Meeting House, the oldest standing Black church in the United States, and the Robert Gould Shaw and 54th Regiment Memorial honoring one of the first Black regiments of the Civil War.
Follow the Black Heritage Trail's stops and visit the Museum of African American History in the Meeting House. For a challenge, walk the full Black Heritage Trail and connect it to Boston's Freedom Trail for a long day on foot.
