Boston Common Freedom Trail is a red brick layered path which is situated in Downtown Boston connecting sixteen significant historic sites of Boston. The idea of this 2.5 miles (4 km) long path was first introduced by the local journalist named William Schofield in 1958 and since then this freedom trail became one of the major tourist attractions in Boston.
Boston Common Freedom trail starts from the Boston Common, the central public park in Boston which is crowned as the oldest central park in whole United States. Then the trail leads to The Massachusetts State House where the General Courts and the offices of the Governor of Massachusetts are situated.
Park Street Church is another famous attraction on the Freedom Trail and it is known as a landmark Conservative Congressional Church in the area due its appearance and the historical value. After that the Trail leads to Granary Burying Ground which holds the graves of many revolutionary war era patriots in Boston. After passing the Kings Chapel, travelers will witness the Statue of Benjamin Franklin, one of the forefathers of the modern United States.
Then the Freedom trail leads to the Old Corner Bookstore which is a historic meeting place of the great personalities in the world literature such as Ralph Waldow Emerson and Charles Dickens. Old Meeting House and Old State House are important monuments which come along the way of the Freedom Trail and travelers are then led to the site of the Famous Boston Massacre where the five civilians were killed by the British Troops in 1770. This historic incident eventually sparked the rebellions in some British Colonies in America and ultimately the Great American Revolution.
In Quincy Market which is the next stop in Freedom Trail, the travelers can dine in modern restaurants or purchase various household items and groceries for a cheap price. The building is also known as Feneuil Hall Marketplace which is constructed in way back in early 1824 and still continues its operation, serving both locals and foreigners. After passing the American patriot Paul Revever’s colonial home, Old North Church and Copp’s Hill Burying Ground the travelers come to the end of the Freedom Trail at the 221 feet tall Bunker Hill Monument which was erected to commemorate the historic Battle of Bunker Hill.
If the travelers are looking forward to take a walk on Boston Common Freedom Trail., Langham Hotel Boston is a great place to stay because of its renowned service among other Boston hotels and the first class comforts and amenities of the hotel which are superior to other hotels in Boston.
