The nation's thinnest national park
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

08/13/2002 Posted by ddrucker

At 9 inches in width, the Freedom Trail indeed is the nations thinnest national park. It's also a delightful walk through Boston and Charlestown, taking you not only by most of the important places of the American Revolution, but helps you realize that places move on. The site of the Boston Massacre is now a busy intersection; The Old North Church is in the middle of a pedestrian shopping area. The Freedom Trail reminds us that where we now live was where we fought for the freedom to live the way we do.

Pros: Inexpensive, Good historical info, Spread out

Cons: Can be boring for kid, No good facilities, Quality of sites vary
