Excerpt from The Freedom Trail Study for a Renewal Vision The Freedom Trail is a child of the 19503, reflecting the biases and programs of a post-war decade that emphasized outstanding heroes and events. Its fundamental story centers on the period leading up to the American Revolution when Boston occupied center stage as the Cradle of Liberty. Most of the current Freedom Trail sites are outstanding historic landmarks that possess very strong associations with that theme, and are capable of creating a vivid picture of pre - Revolutionary Boston.
