Boston Common Park

 

 

 

 

We walked the Freedom Trail which consists of a 2.5 mile walk. This 2.5 miles trail is marked with red brick, and takes you to 16 original history places where it all began. The Freedom Trail begins at Boston Common's Park, which is America's oldest public park. Years ago this park had three uses; as a field for grazing cattle, as a training ground for the Town Militia( minute men and British troops) and as a place for public punishments. Today, the park has an ice-skating rink. The rink was scheduled to open up two days after we left Boston. We would have loved to go ice-skating outdoor.
