Boston Freedom Trail Marker

 

 

 

Boston Freedom Trail

 

 

 

The Freedom Trail is a 3 mile walking tour around the heart of historic Boston. The path is marked by a red line painted or bricked into the sidewalk. The historic sites relate mostly to the American Revolution. The Freedom Trail begins in Boston Common and ends in Charlestown at the Bunker Hill Monument. A map can be purchased at the Information Booth near Park Street Station, but also note that most hotels offer free historic brochures that contain maps. The Freedom Trail can be very educational, but is also a great path to follow for shopping, dining, or to just enjoy the city.

If you want to spend a lot of time at each site, consider following the trail to the Old South Meeting House or Old State House, and then start again from there on the next day. The Trail can take many hours to explore if you are interested in a lot of detail.

The Freedom Trail starts at Boston Common near Park Street Station. Below is a list of the official sites (with selective additional detail pages):
