The Freedom Trail Foundation is the fifty-year-old non-profit organization whose mission is to promote and market Boston’s Freedom Trail and help with preservation of the 17th, 18th, and 19th century historic sites of the Freedom Trail.
The Freedom Trail Foundation relies on the generosity of individuals, foundations, and corporations for support. The three primary areas of work include: retelling the story of the American Revolution as it began in Boston through costumed guided tours and regular communications and marketing; Freedom Trail Scholars program, a FREE in-school history education program for inner-city and low-performing schools; Freedom Trail Foundation Preservation Fund dedicated to funding capital projects at official Freedom Trail sites.
