[The Freedom Trail]
In 1958, concerned Bostonians were determined to preserve the story of the American Revolution as it began in Boston through preservation of 16 historically significant sites related to events of the Revolutionary era. These sites are found along a unique three- mile urban walking Trail which is marked with a bricked or painted red line on the streets of Boston. Designated a Millennium Trail in 2000, the Freedom Trail today is an integral part of the modern city and contributes tremendous economic value to Boston and the Commonwealth through education, tourism, and preservation programs. As the Freedom Trail enters its second half century, it can proudly celebrate that it has become the signature historic experience in New England - attracting over three million people annually - and has succeeded in preserving the story of the American Revolution and the ideals of freedom of speech, religion, government and self-determination for all America.
