The Road to Freedom
The Freedom Trail is a historic route that connects 16 historic locations in Boston and is one of the symbols of the American Revolution. The Freedom Trail is about 2.5 miles (4 km) long, starting at the Boston Public Market, passing through the northern end of downtown and Charlestown, and ending at the Bunker Hill Monument. The route is designed to provide visitors with an opportunity to learn about American history and learn about important events from the Revolutionary War, such as the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. On the Freedom Trail, visitors can visit places of interest such as Boston Public Garden, the oldest park in the United States, Boston Latin School, the first public school in the United States, and Paul Revere, one of the most important caricature writers in American history. The Freedom Trail typically takes 2-3 hours to walk, and for a more in-depth experience, visitors need to bring their own guide map or join a local Freedom Trail guided tour.
