Freedom Trail Revolutionary Women Tours Bring History to Life in Boston
The Freedom Trail Revolutionary Women Tour kicked off at the begging of March. It’s a great way to celebrate Women’s History Month.
The Freedom Trail Foundation has been responsible for protecting and preserving the Freedom Trail since 1964. That two-and-a-half mile long red line that winds through Boston, linking over a dozen of the most important historical landmarks not only in Massachusetts history but in U.S. history? The Foundation are the ones that keep that paint bright red and spiffy and get the word out on walks and strolls and the like. It’s important work.
You might recall the return of Holiday Strolls in 2022. This month, we’re celebrating a different type of holiday in Women’s History Month. And the Freedom Trail is at the forefront. They last hosted their Revolutionary Women Tours back in 2020, so it will be nice to have them back for this year’s celebration. The tours take walkers along the Freedom Trail and through four centuries of history.
