The Boston National Historical Park is an association of sites that showcase Boston's role in the American Revolution and other parts of history. Seven of the eight sites are connected by the Freedom Trail, a walking tour of downtown Boston. All eight properties are National Historic Landmarks, some are only accessible by guided tour. Although many of the sites that make up the park date back to the colonial era, the park also includes later landmarks that commemorate more recent events such as the abolition of slavery and the desegregation of public schools. In addition to its historical significance, the Boston National Historical Park is a beautiful place to visit, with well-manicured gardens, stately buildings, and stunning views of the cityscape. Whether you're interested in learning about American history or simply want to enjoy a leisurely walk through one of Boston's most scenic neighborhoods, the Boston National Historical Park is a great way to experience the past and the present.
