About the Freedom Trail Foundation:
A non-profit foundation dedicated to marketing, promoting and preserving
Boston's Freedom Trail. The Freedom Trail is a 2.5-mile path that leads to
16 of the country's most significant historical landmarks. The Sites are
not adaptations or re-creations, they are real, and each one played a
pivotal role in America's rebellious beginning - familiar events such as
the Boston Tea Party, the Boston Massacre, Paul Revere's role in the first
battle, the Battle of Bunker Hill and the growth of the young nation.
Marked by a red brick path or a painted red line, the Freedom Trail weaves
its way through Boston's proud past in the midst of this vital, modern
city. |
