Colorful Cities

Boston’s Freedom Trail is perfect to explore on foot.
This well marked path documents significant locations in the journey of the American Revolution and Boston’s interesting role in that narrative. The 16 stops are easily seen over a good day’s jaunt, but for deeper history its worth taking the time to learn and reflect.

Wander and learn – and perhaps color along the way!

Happy Exploring!
