The Freedom Trail


 The Freedom Trail is a great way for visitors to the city of Boston to learn how to navigate the city, while seeing some of the many historical sights Boston has to offer. The trail is two and a half miles long and is marked with a painted or red brick line marking. The Freedom Trail is also marked with signs at each of the stops. Some of the stops along the way include The Boston Common, The State House, Park Street Church, Faneuil Hall, Paul Revere House, and The Bunker Hill Monument.

The Freedom Trail begins at the Boston Common and ends at the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown, MA. It is a great free activity for visitors of Boston to enjoy. The only stops along the trail that are not free are the Paul Revere House, the Old South Meeting House, and the Old North Church.

For more information on the Freedom Trail you can go to the information booth located on the Boston Common on Tremont Street. The information booth has information about the trail for tourists including maps and brochures with descriptions of each of the 16 stops along the two and a half mile trail.

Aside from visiting the trail on your own spare time you can also arrange to have a guided costume tour. This provides individuals with the opportunity to experience the trail by being accompanied by a historian.
