A
walk on the Freedom Trail will take you by the sites and scenes of crucial
events in the nation's struggle for independence. This 3-mile stroll through
downtown Boston and Charlestown is recognized as a National Recreation Trail,
along which are 16 points of historic importance. Although, the trail is
marked by a red line of bricks or paint, you can have fun with your GPS
by downloading this file and finding your own route!
