Freedom Trail Foundation
About
The Freedom Trail Foundation runs Boston’s official guided tours of the Freedom Trail, the route of museums, churches, meeting houses, burying grounds, parks, a ship and markers that tell the story of the American Revolution. Its most popular introductory walk covers 11 of the 16 official sites, from Boston Common and the Massachusetts State House past Park Street Church, the Granary Burying Ground, King’s Chapel and the Old State House to Faneuil Hall.
Guides dress in 18th-century costume, and the tours also cover the history of traditionally underrepresented people from the 16th to the 21st centuries. A separate North End tour focuses on Paul Revere, visiting the Paul Revere House, Old North Church and Copp’s Hill Burying Ground in Boston’s oldest neighborhood. The foundation also operates a Freedom Trail store selling books such as the Freedom Trail Walking Guide and A Kid’s Guide to the Freedom Trail, plus audio guides.
