The Freedom Trail
The events that are taking place in Europe today are grim reminders that there are still countries that do not enjoy the freedoms that we have come to take for granted. Today’s FamSite is a visit to the birthplace of our country, the city where it all started for us back in the 1700’s, Boston, Massachusetts.
Called The Freedom Trail, it is a tour of sixteen historical sites that are located in the city. What makes this an interesting tour is the way the sites are all connected. All you have to do is follow the red stripe on the ground. This red line is painted on the sidewalk, starting at the Boston Common and going downtown, to the North End, then over the bridge to Charlestown and up to the Bunker Hill monument. Along the way you visit Old North Church, Paul Revere’s house, and Old Ironsides. What makes this tour unique is that it has been here since 1958, and is now available to all on the Internet.
If you want to see what our founding fathers went through to when they created our county, then this is a site for you to visit, and share with your friends.
