Freetown
Freetown is a port city and the capital of Sierra Leone, in West Africa. It's known for its beaches and historical role in the transatlantic slave trade. The old town's centuries-old Cotton Tree is a symbol of emancipation. On the waterfront is the King's Yard Gate, through which former slaves walked to freedom. The Sierra Leone National Museum includes exhibits relating to the 19th-century military leader Bai Bureh.
