| This has nothing to do with the Freedom Trail, but it is one of my favorite photos of all time. From 2018, all 6 of our grandkids on the Make Way for Ducklings (Robert McCloskey children's story) statue in Public Garden in Boston. |
The Freedom Trail is a 2.5 mile path that passes by 17 significant historical locations in Boston. It starts with site #1, Boston Common downtown, and ends at site #17, the Boston Holocaust Memorial. There are several sites in-between that are also of interest.
Last week two of our daughter-in-law's aunts and an uncle came to Boston for a visit. We went with them to walk part of the Freedom Trail. Pat and I went 10 years ago August. I remember it well as we were coming to Boston at that time to meet our new grandson! Some sites are free, some ask for a free-will donation, and some may charge an entrance fee to go inside. It's a great way to see some of Boston's amazing history.
