Step back in time on a 2.5-hour small group walking tour of Boston's historic Beacon Hill, the setting of the city's spirited fight against legalized slavery. Led by a professional local historian, you follow the Black Heritage Trail from Boston Common to hidden Underground Railroad sites, the elite homes of the "Boston Brahmins" and abolitionist landmarks such as the African Meeting House.
The tour explores the years 1833 to 1863, the tumultuous period leading toward the Civil War. You walk in the footsteps of 19th-century Bostonians who wrestled with the practice of racial enslavement in the U.S., and your guide shares the gripping story of local Bostonians finding their voices and demanding an end to injustice during America's "Second Revolution."
Groups are small, with a maximum of 16 guests, so it is easy to hear your guide and ask questions along the way. The tour involves a considerable amount of walking and stairs.
