About Freedom Trail

Boston's Freedom Trail is a red (mostly brick) path through downtown Boston which leads to sixteen significant historical sites. It is a 2.5 mile walk from the Boston Common to the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown and is popular with tourists. Part of the Freedom Trail overlaps with the much longer Boston Harbor Walk. The Freedom Trail is a unit of Boston National Historical Park.

The Sixteen Official Freedom Trail sites:
- Boston Common
- Massachusetts State House
- Park Street Church
- Granary Burying Ground
- King's Chapel
- King's Chapel Burying Ground
- Benjamin Franklin statue and site of the first public school
- Old Corner Bookstore
- Old South Meeting House
- Old State House
- Site of the Boston Massacre
- Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market
- Paul Revere House
- Old North Church
- USS Constitution
- Battle of Bunker Hill Monument

The Freedom Trail Foundation has added two further sites since its inception. The Black Heritage Trail crosses the Freedom Trail between Massachusetts State House and Park Street Church. Copp's Hill burying ground comes immediately after Old North Church.
