1 USS Constitution, cannon balls bounced off her oak (Southern Live) planking so it was nicknamed Old Ironsides, undefeated in 40 battles, built in 1797 and is still a US Navy ship out to sea once a year (4th of July of course).
2 The Boston Massacre -- yes, the one that Samuel Adams helped provoke and that John Adams defended the regular army boys implicated. You can see that the news (although old) distressed Shauna).
3 Stockbridge, MA -- There is a winter painting by Rockwell which made it famous (and he lived near too).
4 Yale
5 Mark Twain
6 Minutemen
7 Hayley!
8 Buckman's Tavern along Battle Road. Revere and Dawes galloped by here warning that the "regulars" were coming. And they came and were ambushed by minutemen colonists.
9 Boston Temple
10 Paul Revere lived here. It is the most original place in Boston with materials still dating back to 1690.
