Editorial Review for Freedom Trail – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
The private foundations and government agencies that manage the Old North Church, the Paul Revere House and places linked by the Freedom Trail are mulling ambitious improvements, including virtual-reality exhibits, costumed actors and a nightly light show. But the historic landmarks concentrated along this three-mile red line on the sidewalk speak for themselves, especially after $45 million worth of renovations in recent years to Faneuil Hall, the Old State House and the Old South Meeting House. Even the USS Constitution was spruced up for the bicentennial.
The Experience
Don't miss King's Chapel and Burying Ground, the Bunker Hill Monument or the Boston Tea Party Ship and Museum. Many of sites are free, including Park Street Church, the Old Granary Burying Ground, Copp's Hill Burying Ground, Faneuil Hall, the Constitution, all the parks and the Old North Church.

This is such a fun trip to take with your family, it's a pretty short walk, but can take most of the day. You see how our country wouldn't have been around today, if there wern't a Boston, MA
