Donated to the city of Boston in 1742 by French merchant Peter Faneuil, Faneuil Hall was a commercial hub in colonial Massachusetts. It played a notable role in the American Revolution. Protests against the British Sugar and Stamp Acts that began here led to the doctrine of “no taxation without representation.” Later meetings were held here that culminated in the Boston Tea Party. Many of the Founding Fathers met here or gave speeches here (notably Samuel Adams), leading to the building’s nickname, “the Cradle of Liberty.”
This is part of the Freedom Trail. The number “5” is daubed on the circular ground plaque pointing at the letter “R.” The exterior offers two entrances—the two main front doors and the three rear doors to the east. There is side scaffolding that doesn’t reach all the way to the roof (look for a Fusion Core and ammo on the way up). Super Mutants are an ever-present threat.
The basement gift shop is overrun with bloody mutant types. If you have the time, peruse a magazine shelf for information on Easy City Downs, as well as the Treasures of Jamaica Plain (then visit that location for more information). Beware of traps and Super Mutants as you scale the interior. Take a ladder to the roof, where you’ll find a strange Gilded Grasshopper, which is part of the specified quest.
