Boston: Underground Railroad History Tour of Beacon Hill

Описание

Boston's role in the fight to end legalized slavery is linked by the Black Heritage Trail in historic Beacon Hill. Your 2.5-hour small group tour travels from Boston Common to visit Underground Railroad sites, elite homes of "Boston Brahmins," and abolitionist landmarks such as the African Meeting House. Our small-group walking tour delves deeply into the years 1833 to 1863, the tumultuous years leading toward Civil War. We walk in the footsteps of 19th-century Bostonians, all of whom grappled with the "peculiar institution" of racial enslavement in the U.S. As we travel past landmarks from Civil War Boston, your guide shares the gripping story of local Bostonians finding their voices and demanding an end to injustice across their young nation during America's "Second Revolution."
