The Freedom Trail: Enemies to this Country Guided Tour

Description

In 1774 Paul Revere and his neighbors in the North End were forced to make difficult and dangerous choices. As sides were drawn, both Patriots and Loyalists labeled the other “enemies to this country.” Join a National Park Service Ranger for a free 60 minute walk and decide who the real "Enemies to This Country" were in the months before the breakout of the War for Independence.

The tour is limited to 15 people. Tours begin inside the Find Your Park Space at the Faneuil Hall Visitor Center and end at Old North Church, covering about 0.5 miles. This is a walking tour through Downtown Boston and the North End. The path consists of different surfaces (cement, cobblestones, and pavement) and are occasionally uneven.

If tours are CANCELLED due to inclement weather we will send an email notifying you of the cancellation.

If cancelled an indoor option will be offered in the basement of Faneuil Hall in the Find Your Park Space.
