The Freedom Trail is a 2.5-mile-long (4.0 km) path through downtown Boston, Massachusetts that passes by 16 locations significant to the history of the United States. Marked largely with brick, it winds between Boston Common to the USS Constitution in Charlestown. Stops along the trail include simple explanatory ground markers, graveyards, notable churches and buildings, and a historic naval frigate. While most of the sites are free or suggest donations, the Old South Meeting House, the Old State House, and the Paul Revere House charge admission. The Freedom Trail is overseen by the City of Boston's Freedom Trail Commission[1] and is supported in part by the Freedom Trail Foundation[2] and Boston National Historical Park.
The Freedom Trail was originally conceived by local journalist William Schofield, who in 1951 suggested building a pedestrian trail to link together important local landmarks. Boston mayor John Hynes decided to put Schofield's idea into action. By 1953, 40,000 people were walking the trail annually.[3]
The National Park Service operates a visitor's center on the first floor of Faneuil Hall, where they offer tours, give out free maps of the Freedom Trail and other historic sites, and sell books about Boston and United States history.
Some observers have noted the tendency of the Freedom Trail's narrative frame to omit certain historical locations, such as the sites of the Boston Tea Party and the Liberty Tree.[4]
Members of the Boy Scouts of America who hike or camp along the Freedom Trail may be eligible for the Historic Trails Award,More Info

Seven people were killed when a small plane crashed on Tuesday morning near Bloomington, Illinois while returning from the NCAA basketball championship in Indianapolis, a county sheriff has confirmed.
A Federal Aviation Administration official said the twin-engine Cessna C414A took off from Indianapolis airport around 11 p.m. Monday local time. The plane was flying to Bloomington, Illinois and was last in contact with air traffic control in Peoria, Illinois before it crashed near Bloomington.
McLean County Sheriff Jon Sandage said the county coroner pronounced all seven people on board dead. Their identities were being withheld pending family notification.
The father-in-law of one of the occupants told the Chicago Tribune that the plane was returning from the men’s NCAA college basketball championship in Indianapolis.
There was no initial word on what caused the crash, but heavy fog was reported in the area.
The plane’s wreckage was located in a field around 3:15 a.m. near Illinois Route 9 and County Road 2100 East about two miles east of the Central Illinois Regional Airport in Bloomington.
CBSSports.com is reporting that Illinois State assistant basketball coach Torrey Ward was among those killed.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
