Boston Common
Boston Common is the starting-point of the Freedom Trail, a popular route linking many of Boston's historical sites. It is a 50-acre park which lies between downtown Boston and the Black Bay area. This is the oldest public park in the United States, municipal property since 1634, and throughout its history the home of free speech and free assembly. In the park are monuments commemorating the War of Independence and the Civil War. At the south end is the Central Burying Ground of 1756.
