SITES PAUL REVERE WOULD RECOGNIZE... If He Were In Boston Today!  

Three main reasons for watching Katie's videos; 1st the history. Second. Highly entertaining, Third, love that accent. Really do not get to hear that in Kentucky!

Omg ... that accent. After 30+ years living here in Boston, I pretty much stopped noticing the local accent and have even picked up a bit myself. Wicked thick.

The man who made the grasshopper is Shem Drowne. He is buried in the Copp's Hill Burying Ground in the North End of Boston. Another place old Paul would have known and still is around.

I came for the accent and stayed for the history! Left Boston 6 years ago and really miss the beauty and the accent! Katie helps me remember how to talk propahlee! 😁

You are a classic American beauty - don't stop filming, the show must go on!

Hiya Kiddo, so happy to see you again, do not worry about how you look, we tune in to hear you and learn about our great Nation and the heroes who made it possible 🙏.

That's one thing I love about New England; the anachronistic ubiquitousness of weather-vanes, even on modern buildings. I'm sure Paul Revere would appreciate that, although he might be freaked out by the MBTA.

I find it kind of cool that KTG has a diploma from Bunker Hill Community College on her wall

Wooo🎉 I got my adventure pants on 👍

If PR dropped in today, he would cry out, "A new Katie video is coming!"

Great video of Boston, your accent makes me homesick for Boston. I have walked the Freedom Trail.

Forgot to mention: hats off for talking about the Boston Massacre just as the ambulance was going through the intersection!

The Old Granary burial ground contains the remains of Mother Goose along with many revolutionary war people! So much history in a small downtown area! Hence the Freedom Trail!

Great video. Amazing how yesteryear remains pleasantly tucked into the present, reminding us of where we came from. Thanks, Katie….

Hahaha. Yes, Katie's accent is a hoot! Being from Texas, it's definitely different from what I normally hear. Katie's enthusiasm is wonderful. Love ya, Katie!

Katie, you've got me wanting to go to Massachusetts. I have many revolution era ancestors buried near Boston. To visit all the places you're taking us to would be very heart warming. I didn't notice your bandage but I hope you have no complications.Thank you for another interesting and informative video.

Katie - what a trooper! God's speed!!! 🙏🏽

I am British, I know, I know, boo, hiss😅 I have only recently discovered Katies channel and I absolutely love it. Being Scottish my main interest over the years has centered on the history of my own clan and more recently the Border Reivers. Inexplicably the Revolutionary War is not taught to any great depth in Britain, which is a great shame. I recently decided to look in more depth at the War of Independence and decided to get an overview before committing to more in depth literature, so I thought I would give Katie a go. So far it has been fascinating, it is like having my own travel guide. And oh my lord, that accent, I could listen to her all day long.

The Loyal Nine (also spelled Loyall Nine) were nine American patriots from Boston who met in secret to plan protests against the Stamp Act of 1765. Mostly middle-class businessmen, the Loyal Nine enlisted Ebenezer Mackintosh to rally large crowds of commoners to their cause and provided the protesters with food, drink, and supplies. A precursor to the Sons of Liberty, the group is credited with establishing the Liberty Tree as a central gathering place for Boston patriots.

Hi Katie, did the freedom trail in grammar school 40 or so years ago, lol... I don't know if Revere's house is part of the trail, but we did a tour of his house and that was the coolest part i thought. Most recently i followed the freedom trail in Fallout 4, lol

My ancestor was a N.C. Militia soldier so I’m very interested in the Revolution…have had two trips to Boston to see these sites but would like to go again!

Welcome Back!! Highly enjoyable tour of Boston .

Katie, most people never visit the Romney marsh burial ground in revere ma. Soldiers of revolution buried there as well as early settlers from 1660’s as a kid many years ago I maintained the cemetery as part of a summer job with revere Dow.

Cool topic, thanks! (I had to laugh at myself, when you said they were discussing what to do about the "T", my first thought was they started planning for the subway, South Station probably, a lot earlier than I remembered)

Oh my God.. how did I find your channel?! As far as I'm concerned you could give me a tour of Boston shopping malls and I'd still subscribe!

I did the freedom trail as a child in 1976. It might astound the "smartphone generation" to know I navigated a strange city using only a brick line in the sidewalk. Great video, especially the ironic visit to Revere's tomb.

Love the premise. I often wonder if our founders came back what they would recognize today. Thank you Katie. This was fun.

Born just outside Boston and have worked in the city almost my entire life and...I'm a history buff. My daily walk from South Station to my office crossed paths with The Freedom Trial every day, School Street included. But it still wasn't until a few years ago that my wife, also a native, and I actually walked the Freedom Trail for the first time, we're both in our 50's. I was familiar with a lot of the sites along the trail but not all of them and even for us it was fascinating. At the end we chose to visit the USS Constitution instead of Bunker Hill, I'd already been to both in the past but the Constitution is really amazing and my favorite stop on the walk. It, more than anything else, makes you feel like you've gone back in time and it a perfect way to end the tour.

Welcome back! Glad that you are on the mend. Thanks for another fun and informative action adventure video.

I did the Freedom Trail 5k. It was a great tour of the city.

I don't see any bandages. You look great and I love your accent. I'm a subscriber and I've been waiting forever for your next video.

I (sort of) remember doing the Freedom Trail pub crawl in my 20s. I’ve since then walked my kids along the Freedom Trail visiting historic sites. My youngest studied Paul Revere all through the fifth grade so he found the trail fascinating.

Your videos are worth the wait Katie!

Always good to see you, Katy. Great video. Hope all is well. I was wondering if you're going to do a video on the Sons of Liberty .

My late wife and I walked to freedom trail on our 30th anniversary and I did see Paul Revere's house it was amazing.

We really need to start wearing powdered wigs and writing pamphlets again bro

Good to see you back! I hope you're healing well after your procedures too.

I love this site !❤

Excellent show. Don’t worry about a bandage. You’re as beautiful as ever. Paul Revere just might recognize some of the buildings. Anyway thanking for your channel. Look forward to seeing the next episode. Take care!

Boston born and raised and I just gotta say, you arh, soo frickin Boston it's insane, dude! I love watching your videos, even tho I have been to pretty much everyone of the sights I have seen, it's flippin awesome to see and to heah you discuss each spot. It's awesome! The history in Boston is awesome and to know and to understand the birth of our nation, the people, the places and the events is more important now than ever, so i think it is fantastic what you are doing. Keep 'em coming Katie and get bettah wicked soon.

Always so cool!

Love it, appreciate your enthusiasm. Visited Boston and returned with granddaughters as one girl loved Paul Revere. The younger one wants to return....

I'm so impressed by the quality of your videos! Great job beautiful lady!

Great video, and awesome presenter! I've done parts of the Freedom Trail, but not the whole thing. If you hosted a tour, I'd pay money...

Great Job !!! Keep up the Good work Love the "Field Trips" Bandaid hardly noticeable. BUT, I believe it's actually a "Dueling Scar"

Thanks Katie. I have not done the Boston Freedom Trail yet, but I know my wife and I would both enjoy it. We are in VT, but have relatives in Providence, so with a little planning we should be able to figure this out! Always enjoy your videos!

Your discussions are so interesting and your so pretty that no one is noticing the bandages. ☺️

Katie ,you take care of your self you truly are a treasure , love your work .

Thank you Katie !

Nice work Katie

I'm a native Rhode Islander and have been to Boston site seeing many times. My favorite places are the Paul Revere house. The cemetery with the musketball shots and of course Breeds Hill

Love the video Katie ! I hope to someday visit Boston. Keep up the great work!

Really glad you're back Katie. SAR member here. Love & appreciate what you do.

My wife, friends and I just traveled to Boston last week and I used all of the information that I learned from you to see all of the great sites. Thank you so much!

Two huge thumbs up! Nice job as always, Katie.

Thank you for taking the time to produce and share your work.

Glad you are back; glad you are on the mend. It is amazing to see the actual buildings that were so pivotal to our nation’s founding. Keep getting better (medically) and keep up the interesting, informative videos, in your very relatable style.

Just discovered your channel today (July 15, 2024) and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your work! Keep it up!

Another fun video, thanks again Katy! It's a sad but true reflection of the current lack of awareness of our history, that you alluded to with the Boston Tea Party. I can't fathom anyone not knowing about that sentinel event, but you're probably correct in that lots of people don't. Let's hope at least all of your viewers are very familiar with it though! Best of luck with your recovery!

Loved the video, Katie! Great to see you and stay well!

I grew up in Cambridge Massachusetts so Revolution history was taught in Elementary school and high school. History was one of my favorite subjects. I also worked in Boston so I visited all the historical sites on a regular basis. I also attended church at Park Street next to the common. Suzi Berlin who lives over buy the old north church did daily tours around Boston on Periscope from 2015 -2021. One of my favorite highlights was going to the top of Old North Church even got to go out on the balcony. Also visited the crypt few times.

I’ve walked the trail several times. Always inspirational. Most impressed with the Old Granary Burying ground

Thanks, Katie!

I had ancestor’s who arrived in Plymouth in 1630 and later. So I find all of your videos fascinating as I picture them in these places.

Love your videos Katie. Keep them coming.

My son and I did the Freedom Trail together on a Field Trip when he was in Elementary School!

Nervous? Heck, you look like you own the place! Wishing you a complete and speedy recovery from your procedure. All the best, keep up the great work :0)

Thank you so much. I walked "The Freedom Trail" on the 200 yr Anniversary during my High School Grad Trip. My Mothers side of the family (Flower) came to Connecticut in the 1660's and participated in the liberation of this Country so I've always been fascinated to learn about the Revolutionary War.

That was a fun adventure! Many of the sites you've showed here, I've been to many times over the years brings back memories. Looking forward to the Paul Revere video. I toured his home a few times many years ago. When I lived in the North End I walked by his house every day to work. It must of been crowded having all those kids in there! lol. The MFA has a good collection of his silverware and I believe that famous painting Copley did is there, too. I did not know that grasshopper weather vane was the original from 1740's. Next time I go back I will definitely look for that.

Always an enjoyable and educational video, My bucket list to take the tour soon. Thanks Katie.

She is so pretty and love hearing her voice. Great researcher as well.

Another brilliant video. Missed you, glad you’re back!

I spent a week on the Freedom Trail. Best vacation I have ever had.

Thank you Katie! I hope you heal quickly.

What a beauty! Your videos are just awesome. It's hard to get anything done because I can't pull away from the video...lol. Thanks!!!

Always look forward to your videos and learn something new each time!

Thanks Katie!

Never did the freedom trail in person, but have done it in Fallout 4.

I just checked with my wife, and apparently I do have adventure pants! 😃 I'm ready! Thanks, Katie, for another fascinating video.

I'm a new subscriber and I'm ready to embaaaark on the journey😊

Thank you, Katie your videos are extremely educational and entertaining.. I hope you feel better soon.

Such a good video! I love the bit about the grasshopper over Faneuil Hall…learned something new today! Another area Revere would probably recognize is down by the Union Oyster House and Bell in Hand Tavern. The Bell in Hand (as well as the Green Dragon tavern, which no longer stands) were meeting places for the Sons of Liberty in the lead up to the Revolution. 😊

Hi Katie, being a history minor I always enjoy your videos

Hey Katie, Thank you so much! Great video tour!!! God bless and hope you are recovering well Dear! Really appreciate your enthusiasm and energy! Sounds as if you possibly enjoy solitude more than the crowd yet you are an excellent communicator! Your sadness and shock at the visitation of Paul's resting place is noteworthy.I think we all know Paul would not have recognized the flag hanging on Kings Chapel on Fremont St.. And more than likely his reaction to an explanation of it would have been, " What the ....!!!" Keep up the Great Work Katie!!! If our founders were alive today do you think they would be seen as honorable community leaders, or as enemies of the nation they helped to establish? No need to reply yet it is a question each of us should reflect on in these times! Take care and look forward to your future teachings.

Enjoy your videos very much....keep up the good work...looking forward to more videos

Another great video, Katie! I grew up in Virginia where I got another major part of Revolutionary War history, and this makes me want to visit Boston even more. And get to feeling better soon!

This was a really lovely video. I think it's nice how you show off our history at the same time showing what a nice modern city we have here as well.

Great video! I just love your energy and your personality. And I really enjoy your content. Keep up the amazing work! Aloha 🤙🏼

Really cool stuff!

Greetings Miss Katie ! - wonderful to see you again, great video as always. Thank you for giving of your time to educate all of us even more. Mike in NJ

Hi Katie, Your videos are great...I just finished reading about Paul Revere's Rides...by David Hackett Fischer...your videos are great to see the actual sites. Thanks for your adventures. It is amazing to me he Rode from Boston to Philadelphia in 5 days to present the document from Doty's Tavern at the time in Stoughton now part of Canton...in 1774 I think it was...

Welcome back. Your detailed videos are really appreciated and fill in lots of information left out of the generalities we typically get. I made a few business trips to Boston and really enjoyed the city. More human scale and not hectic like some other cities. It's also great the way so much history has been preserved, and meshes with the city. If I recall what the guide told me, Paul Revere's home is the only remaining 18th century wooden home in Boston. Thank you. Never lose your accent.

Thanks Katie. I love history with a concentration in the revolutionary war and the civil war. My favorite politician is John Adams. I live in Chelmsford, every time we have family and friends visit they want to see the North Bridge nd plenty of other sites time permitting. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!! One note: Are you from the Boston area? Everyone I know pronounces Faneuil Hall like fan'll hall

I KNEW Paul Revere's house would not be here! When it was "restored" in the early 20th century a third floor that was there when he lived in it was removed and it was rebuilt in an earlier 17th century style. I had posted before and after pictures on my Facebook a while ago. The house was rebuilt on the site of my uncle's house that was destroyed in the great Boston fire of 1676.

I took the Freedom Trail in the early 90's. I enjoyed it very much. As a Paul Revere fan, I liked his house and the Old North Church the best. Thanks.

What would Paul Revere recognize, what a great concept for a history video! Thank you for the great video!

Good video once again. I remember 5 years ago visiting Boston and seeing all these sites. I’m a Revolutionary War History Nerd. Thanks for the refresher visit. I enjoyed Freedom Trail but I was glad to leave Boston. I’m just not a city person, any city. But Thanks for your videos, I look forward to them.

love your content, Katie! seems you walked right by the Old Corner bookstore (1718) across from the Old South Meeting House. Mr Revere would have known it as Dr Thomas Crease's residence and apothecary, now owned by Historic Boston, Inc.

Informative, insightful, and just plain delightful, as always. Missed you a bit, K; and we didn't even notice the bandaids.

My ancestor is listed as being buried in the Eliot Burying ground in Dorchester. I was shocked to find that I had ancestors in Boston at the beginning of our country. I’m reading enjoying your videos and just subscribed. Thanks.
