The Boston Freedom Trail: An Intriguing Walk Through United States History
The Boston Freedom Trail makes for an interesting walk through United States history. The two and a half mile walking route takes the visitor to sixteen historical sites. A red brick line (or a painted red line) serves as your guide to two and a half centuries of America's significant past.

Boston Common is the starting point for the Freedom Trail. It's the oldest park in the United States. British troops camped on the Boston Common prior to the Revolution and left from here to face the militias at Lexington and Concord in 1775.
