Freedom Trail
Revolutionary Boston path
A 2.5-mile walking path through Boston, Massachusetts, marked by a red line on the sidewalk, connecting sixteen historically significant sites from the American Revolution—including Paul Revere's house, the Old North Church, and the site of the Boston Massacre.
The trail draws millions of tourists annually: We walked the Freedom Trail on our first day in Boston.
