Freedom Trail meets tech age
The Freedom Trail Foundation dates back to the 17th century but it is entering the 21st with its first official Freedom Trail Smartphone and Tablet application.
“Available for iOS and Android devices, the new Freedom Trail® app features 16 official historic sites of Boston’s Freedom Trail,” says a news release.
The first of its kind, the Freedom Trail app highlights the rich history of the American Revolution as it unfolded in Boston, as well as a wide assortment of historic sites just steps off the Trail.
“Bringing the stories of the brave men and women who dared to challenge the mightiest nation in the world, the new app makes any visit to and walk along the Freedom Trail fun and educational,” the site says.
The Freedom Trail Foundation has partnered with Toura, a leading mobile app technology platform to create the new app.
Signature events of the Revolution are featured in the new Freedom Trail app, including Paul Revere’s midnight ride, the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Boston Tea Party, and the Boston Massacre.
It is the only official app, historically accurate, with text approved by Boston-based historians.
The Freedom Trail is a 2.5 mile historic trail that includes 16 seventeenth and eighteenth century buildings and locations where the American Revolution began. “Stories of desperate housewives, survivors, commanders in chief, extreme makeovers and CSI make the Revolution as compelling as it was 250 years ago,”
according to operators.
Marked by a red brick path or painted line, the Trail weaves its way through Boston’s past in the midst of this vital, modern city.
