Faneuil Hall, located near Boston's waterfront and Government Center, opened in 1742 and became a historic site for speeches promoting independence, including those by Samuel Adams. Today, it is part of the Boston National Historical Park and a stop on the Freedom Trail; it's often called "the Cradle of Liberty." Despite its historical significance, the building has ties to slavery through its benefactor, Peter Faneuil. Today, it hosts over 40 vendors and can feel busy and touristy, but remains a fun stop for visitors.

Today, the historic hall (one of the oldest market halls in the USA) mainly sells souvenirs, fashion and accessories.
