The Freedom Trail is a 2.5-mile path through downtown Boston that passes by locations significant to the history of the United State. Marked with bricks, it winds through Boston starting at the Common and ending at the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown. Stops along the trail include markers, monuments, plaques, graveyards, notable churches and buildings, and a historic naval frigate.
A group of geocachers have gotten together to put out the Freedom Trail Adventures which consists of 9 parts for a total of 45 locations along and around the Freedom Trail. All locations are available 24/7 and are free to visit. Each of the 45 locations will give you information on finding the Freedom Trail Adventures Bonus Cache, GC8XTR1.
A special Freedom Trail Adventures pathtag will be awarded for completing the 45 stops and the Freedom Trail Adventures Bonus Cache, GC8XTR1.
