In downtown Boston, the Old South Meeting House, Old State House, Faneuil Hall, the Paul Revere House, and Old North Church bring to life the American ideals of freedom of speech, religion, government, and self-determination. Sites in Charlestown include the Bunker Hill Monument, the site of the first major battle of the American Revolution; the Charlestown Navy Yard, one of the nation's first naval shipyards; and the USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world.
