The Freedom Trail offers a 2.5-mile redbrick walking trail that leads to 16 nationally significant historic sites, every one an authentic American treasure. The Trail provides a rich history of America’s Revolution offering the events that led up to the historic break from Britain and the brave people who shaped our national government. The Trail is a unique collection of museums, churches, meetinghouses, burying grounds, parks, a ship, and historic markers that tell the story of the American Revolution and beyond.
Boston Common is the oldest public park in the history of the USA, dating back to 1634, when the area was designated a common pasture. It serves as a public park for recreational purposes and is bordered by Beacon Hill, the Public Garden, and downtown. It is littered with historical monuments and home to one of Boston’s oldest graveyards, the Central Burying Ground, with graves of many British and American casualties from the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775. The Frog Pond is popular with children who can wade through the pond during summertime.
Faneuil Hall Marketplace is four great places in one location — Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, North Market and South Market, all set around a cobblestone promenade where jugglers, magicians and musicians entertain the passers-by.
Boston Children’s Museum, which is 90 years-old, helps children understand and enjoy the world in which they live. It is a private, non-profit, educational institution that is recognized internationally as a research and development center and pacesetter for children’s exhibitions, educational programs, and curriculum.
