The Liberty Tree Site marks the place where Boston radicals gathered under a large elm during the years before the American Revolution. The tree became a symbol of colonial resistance, copied by other towns before British troops cut it down after occupying Boston in 1775.
There is no tree now, only markers near the Chinatown station entrance and a bronze plaque nearby. It is a small stop, but the story gives real weight to an otherwise easy-to-miss corner of downtown Boston.
