"I love the history here but kind of disappointed that there is a steak house inside now."
"A really interesting sculpture of one of the most famous names in all of American history. This is a great spot to visit when exploring the Freedom Trail and it makes for a great photo."
"What awesome peice of Americana right on the Freedom trail. Highly recommend"
"Standing in front of Boston's Old City Hall is this 8-foot bronze statue of famous patriot Benjamin Franklin (who was himself a native of Boston). The statue has been standing since 1856 and is one of many iconic landmarks you'll encounter during your Freedom Trail walk. I've included images of both the Benjamin Franklin statue, as well as the Old City Hall (which is located behind it)."
