Boston's Freedom Trail is a red (mostly brick) path through downtown Boston which leads to sixteen significant historical sites. It is a 2.5 mile (4 km) walk from the Boston Common to the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown and is popular with tourists. Part of the Freedom Trail overlaps with the much longer Boston Harbor Walk. The Freedom Trail is a unit of Boston National Historical Park.
The Freedom Trail Foundation has added two further sites since its inception. The Black Heritage Trail crosses the Freedom Trail between Massachusetts State House and Park Street Church. Copp's Hill burying ground comes immediately after Old North Church.
