Alt Text Map of Boston National Historical Park. Waterways, which are shown in blue, wind up, around, and through three major landmasses around Boston. Red and blue trails trace paths through city blocks represented in tan and parks shown in green. Extended Description The Charles River Basin to the west, Charles River to the north, Boston Inner Harbor to the east, and Fort Point Channel in the southeast wrap around a bulb-shaped landmass in the lower two-thirds of the map. The areas of Cambridge and Charlestown curve north of the Charles River and basin. Regions in the lower landmass include North End, Beacon Hill, Chinatown, and Back Bay. South Boston angles into the map across the Fort Point Channel in the lower right corner of the map. Dozens of streets and sites are labeled throughout. This description will begin by describing the paths and stops on the red and blue routes before describing the surrounding areas. Freedom Trail The red line represents the Freedom Trail, and associated sites are labeled with red text. The trail begins near the top center of the map in Charlestown at the Bunker Hill Monument, which has information. The trail makes a loop around this area to encompass the USS Constitution in the Charlestown Navy Yard on the Boston Inner Harbor. The trail then heads south across the Charlestown Bridge to wind through North End and conclude near Beacon Hill.

The path continues south to Faneuil Hall, which has information, restrooms, and wheelchair access, the Old State House, Boston Massacre Site, Old Corner Bookstore, and Old South Meeting House. Now moving west, the trail passes the First Public School Site, King’s Chapel and Burying Ground, Granary Burying Ground, and the State House before ending with visitor Information and restrooms on Boston Common.

It starts with the Robert Gould Shaw/54th Massachusetts Regiment Memorial and continues past the George Middleton House, Phillips School, John J. Smith House, Charles Street Meeting House, Lewis and Harriet Hayden House, and John Coburn House.
