Take a look at a map of Boston, and you'll see what I mean. Unlike Peter Parker's native New York City, arranged on an orderly grid, Boston is a jumble of non-parallel streets. It seems pretty random, but actually, this hodgepodge is a testament to Boston's history.
The Freedom Trail is a highlight reel of Boston’s most influential historical spots. There are 16 sites on the Freedom Trail. This includes museums, public parks, gravesites, statues and even a three masted frigate ship from 1790! All of these locations are connected by a 2.5 mile long trail that winds through the heart of Boston. The trail is marked on sidewalks and city streets with a red line made with brick or paint.
The Freedom Trail is 2.5 miles long in its entirety. It includes sixteen historical sites and spans from the heart of Boston across the river to Charlestown.
