Exercise your families’ legs and their sense of history on The Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile red brick walking trail in Boston that leads you to 16 nationally significant historic sites. It’s fun and entertaining, and no other place in the United States can give you some much of the rich history of America’s Revolution — the events that led up to the historic break from Britain and the brave people who shaped our national government — while helping you stay in shape. The 90-minute guided tours are offered daily throughout the year. Visit the official website for online maps to help you tour the Freedom Trail on your own — for free!
