The Freedom Trail, Boston, Mass.

Freedom Trail maps are available at its starting point: the Boston Common Visitor Information Center, on Boston Common near the MBTA Park Street Station.

Originally, the Freedom Trail led visitors past 16 of Boston's top historic sites along a 2.5-mile (4-km) course. Over the years the trail has been altered and expanded, losing some of its original focus.

I've adapted the trail's route to my own walking tours for you so that you can see more with less back-tracking:
