Introduction

The Freedom Trail is Boston's most historically rich tourist route, inspired by the idea of local renowned journalist William Schofield. This tour route is mainly done on foot and allows visitors to delve deep into the origins of American history and the urban scenery of Boston. The trail starts from Boston Park, passes through 16 attractions, and finally reaches the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown, with a total distance of about 2.5 miles. Some say that if you come to a city but know nothing about its history, you can only experience it on a superficial level. Therefore, when you step onto the Freedom Trail, it's like opening an American history book, where you will witness the struggle for freedom through the relics along the way. The Freedom Trail will allow you to experience the magnificent process of Boston's history firsthand.
