The Freedom Trail is a 2.5 mile trail in Boston marked by a red brick path that includes 16 of the most important historic sites related to the American Revolution. Along the Trailis where Otis railed against the Writs of Assistance, protests were held against taxation without representation, the Boston Massacre rocked the colonies, the glorious Battle of Bunker Hill turned the tide of war, the Boston tea party rocked the world and Washington entered the liberated Boston town. More stories of many brave people complete the historical thread. It’s American history, but not the same old story.
The Official Freedom Trail® App allows you to visit these sites one after the next to stroll as Revere and Adams did through the colonial town of Boston.
With the application as your guide, visitors can see, touch, walk past and into the actual places where brave men and women fought against strangulating economic policies, grievous British rule of law, heinous military occupation, and mortal danger. Special features of the app include:
- Detailed descriptions, facts, and stories on every historical site on the trail.
- Rich photo slideshows of every trail site.
- Maps for following the recommended Trail route, as well as finding Trail points that may be near you using your devices built in GPS
- Additional guides to other noteworthy historical sites just off the Trail route including the Black Heritage Trail
- Information on site opening hours, ticket pricing, and other official Freedom Trail guided tours and events.
It is our honor and privilege to welcome you to the Cradle of Liberty – Boston’s Freedom Trail.
Latest reviews of Freedom Trail® Official App app for iPhone and iPad
I was expecting a better use of technology, like use of GPS. This is just a bunch of static pages. Too expensive when you can get a free brochure instead.
Dont use this app if you are roaming. Data costs will be sky high, the app is always updating, and the multimedia content can only be accessed if connected. A waste of money because we were not able to use it while walking the trail.
Crashing on iPhone 6
The app is not worth purchasing. There is no audio guide, the trail isn’t even marked and they should be able to do so much better @ $5. I wish I could get a refund. I used it for about 3 minutes and then never opened it again. It really should have THE Freedom Trail marked (or at least one version of it) and an audio guide to go along with the dots on a map. Not helpful and disappointed to waste $5.
The app includes great information! It was very helpful. The only improvement would be an interactive map. Bostons streets are built going up Beacon Hill, and its easy to lose your orientation.
