Tour of the Freedom Trail for Children May 6, 2011

Boston By Little Feet offers a child's-eye view of the Freedom Trail's architecture and history is especially designed for young walkers 6-12 years. Your child will learn about Boston's role in the American Revolution and discover the materials on which a city is built.

Walking along Boston's historic Freedom Trail and part of Boston's original coastline, children will be able to see the historical sites that played major roles in American independence. Stops include Faneuil Hall, the Old State House, King's Chapel, and the Old South Meeting House. Learning about the Boston Massacre on the site on which it happened brings a new dimension to learning American history.

Stops also include the site of the first public school in America and the oldest burial ground in Boston. This tour covers ten sites in downtown Boston but is shorter and faster-paced than our Freedom Trail tour.

Boston By Foot is a nonprofit organization to promote the architecture and history of Boston. Guided walking tours are offered regularly May-October and private tours may be requested throughout the year. See the Boston By Foot web site to see the wide spectrum of offerings or for information about becoming a member.
