Here are the closest subway stops to your destinations:

Fanueil Hall: Blue Line to Aquarium (you'll pass through it if you're taking the subway into the city from Logan Airport). You could also get off at State Street (which is the next stop after Aquarium and roughly equidistant from Quincy Market and Fanueil Hall) but I recommend Aquarium because the station is modern, clean, well-lit and with good signage and plenty of tourist brochures and an information desk. State station is currently undergoing renovation and is very dingy. Also, unlike Aquarium, it has no handicapped access or escalators.
Freedom Trail: You can pick up the route within easy walking distance of Park Street station (on the Red and Green Lines) or Government Center station (on the Blue and Green Lines).
Copley Plaza: Green Line to Copley. There are four different outbound Green Line trolleys marked B, C, D, and E. Either one of these will get you there. Don't take the "Lechmere" trolley which goes in the opposite direction.
Quincy Market: (same as Fanueil Hall)
Fenway Park: Green Line "E" trolley to Kenmore station (from there it's about a five-minute walk)
Harvard Square and Harvard: Red Line train to "Harvard" (look for the train that says "Alewife" on it...if you see a Red Line train that says "Braintree" or "Ashmont" then you want the train going in the opposite direction).
Old State House: Blue Line to "State" station, the subway is directly beneath the OSH building (or you could also get off at Aquarium station (which is only a couple of hundred yards away) and walk west up State Street
Cheers/B&F: Green or Red Line to "Park Street" station, it's a 10-minute walk down Beacon Street past the Massachusetts State House (or you can walk through Boston Common going in the same direction), Cheers is on Beacon Street one block after Charles Street.
Science Museum: Take the Green Line "Lechmere" trolley and get off at Science Park.
Aquarium: Blue Line Aquarium stop
Prudential Center: Take the Green Line "E" trolley (the one which says "Heath Street" on it).
Fleet Center (now known as the TD Banknorth Garden): Green Line or Orange Line to "North Station". The arena is right across the street.
Gillette Stadium: You'll need to go by the MBTA Commuter Rail from South Station. Roundtrip fare is $10. Visit the following link for more info: http://www.mbta.com/traveling_t/specialsched/New_England_Patriots_06-07.htm
USS Constitution: This is the only landmark you listed which is not within walking distance of a subway station (although it is close to a MBTA bus stop). Take the Orange Line to Sullivan Square and look for Bus 93 (Charlestown Navy Yard).



* Don't worry if you miss a stop or two. Boston is a very compact city and you'll find that many subway stops are so close to one another that it doesn't matter where you get off. For example, one of the answers given suggests getting off at Downtown Crossing to go to Cheers. This is also possible (I listed Park Street because it's one block closer, either way it's still not a far walk). For more info, visit http://www.mbta.gov

USS Constitution: Once again, Government Center :)
Copley Plaza: Copley
Quincy Market: Wow, Government Center
Fenway Park: Kenmore
Harvard sq. : Harvard, on the red line
Harvard: Harvard, on the red line
Old State House: Park Street
Bull & Finch (The Orginal Cheers): Boylston
The Science Museum and the Aquarium : Science Museum, is Lechmere, and Aquarium is either Government Center or Aquarium on the Blue Line
Prudential Center: Prudential
Sam Adam's Brewery Tours: No idea...
Fleet Center: North Station
Gillette Stadium Can't take a train to Gillette. . .Possibly the Commuter Rail but I'm not sure.

Unless noted all stops are on the Green Line. Check out www.mbta.com, for complete schedules and stop locations. Plus keep in mind your hotel will be able to help a lot.

Boston has a wealthy history and a diverse neighbourhood; it's a heritage of arts, culture, and education; Boston has anything for everyone therefore discover what Boston can give you with hotelbye . The three-mile Freedom Trail brings you past - and in to - 16 of the city's primary historical monuments and sites. It's simple to check out, by the type of red bricks in the pavement and by footprints at street crossings. The path may get you to Old Granary Burying Ground wherever Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock are hidden; will take you to King's Chapel Burying Ground, the Boston's oldest cemetery; Old South Meeting House where in fact the calling speeches of patriots spawned the Boston Tea Party and the Old State House, Boston's oldest community making and the site of the Boston Massacre.

Many of those places are within easy walking distance of each other - for example, the Freedom Trail is a walking tour that will take you by Fanuel Hall and Quincy Market, the USS Constitution, the Old State House, and others. That's one of the great things about Boston - it's actually a small city, so it's easy to walk just about everywhere you need to go (on the flip side, it's practically impossible to drive anywhere in the city!). Definitely get a map and plan to walk to many of those locations.

If you are going to a Patriots football game at Gillette, there are special Football Trains to Gillette Stadium from both Boston and Providence. Here is the info:

Do a Duck tour if possible. I am not sure if they are open yet, but the weather is nice now so they should be, and will school vacation next week i would think they are. But if you decide to do it check ahead of time, because they sell out fast. If you haven't done it yet, walk the freedom trail or at least part of it.
