Tour of the Freedom Trail

Tour of the Freedom Trail is run by The Histrionic Academy, which leads walking tours of Boston and the Freedom Trail with costumed historical interpreters serving as guides. The interpreters double as historians, presenting the city’s colonial and Revolutionary story in period dress. The Freedom Trail itself is a roughly 2.5-mile route, marked by a red line along the sidewalks, that links 16 historic sites in downtown Boston, the North End and Charlestown.

Sites along the trail include Boston Common, the Massachusetts State House, the Granary Burying Ground, King’s Chapel, the Old South Meeting House, the Old State House, Faneuil Hall and the Paul Revere House in the North End, along with the USS Constitution and the Bunker Hill Monument across the harbor in Charlestown. Beyond the tours, the academy’s costumed historians and guides also perform at historical events in and around Boston.
