So it's kind of funny, that being we are a Things to do in Boston site, and we have never posted the Freedom Trail....WHHHAAAT?! I know! Shame on us!
So here it is:
Visitors to Boston, school children, teachers, historians, history buffs, citizens, and friends, welcome to the Freedom Trail. There is no other place in the United States where you can take in the rich history of America’s Revolution — the events that led up to the historic break from Britain and the brave people who shaped our national government.
The Freedom Trail is a 2.5 mile red-brick walking trail that leads you to 16 nationally significant historic sites, every one an authentic American treasure. Preserved and dedicated by the citizens of Boston in 1958, when the wrecking ball threatened, the Freedom Trail today is a unique collection of museums, churches, meeting houses, burying grounds, parks, a ship, and historic markers that tell the story of the American Revolution and beyond.
Take a virtual trip to the Freedom Trail here on this site, then plan your visit to see the real thing. It’s fun, it’s entertaining, it’s really interesting — it’s American Revolutionary history but not the same old story....
Visit their site for more information on guided tours...or just follow the red brick in the middle of the sidewalk...be caustious when crossing the street folks!
