The city of Boston has the Freedom Trail, a critical network of the crucial sites that led to the American Revolution. And soon the town of Green Bay will have the Packers Heritage Trail.
Get ready to ramp up your history nerdiness.
From Packers.com:
Patterned after the popular Boston attraction that pinpoints key historical landmarks from the American Revolutionary period, the Packers Heritage Trail will highlight buildings and other locations throughout downtown Green Bay that played a role in the first 50 years of Packers history (1919-68).
Called “a walk through Packers history from Lambeau to Lombardi,” the Packers Heritage Trail is the brainchild of longtime Wisconsin sportswriter and Packers historian Cliff Christl (pictured), who covered the Packers as a beat reporter for the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Milwaukee Journal and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for more than 30 years, beginning in the early 1970s.
