Our second day in Boston, we took the day to walk the Freedom trail. The freedom trail is a two and a half mile trail that leads you through Boston and stops at many historic sites. We followed our self-guided tour book through the entire trail and saw many really cool things.
You would think it would be difficult to get lost on the Freedom trail, since you just have to follow this red line throughout the city. However, there were a few times that we got off track.
The trail starts in Boston Common, which is America's oldest public park, established in 1634.
Then, we stopped at the Massachusetts State House. The land for this building was originally used as grazing ground for John Hancock's cattle! The gold dome at the top of the building is covered with 23 karat gold leaf.
This next building is the Park Street Church. The steeple of this church was once the first landmark travelers saw when approaching Boston.
