Hosted by: Context Travel
Of all the city’s neighborhoods none captures the essence of Boston more than its North End, a maze of winding colonial-era streets and the backdrop to some of the most significant moments in American history. During this three-hour walking tour with a local historian, we will explore the North End’s back alleys and side streets. Using remaining buildings such as the Old North Church, warehouses and wharves as our textbook, we’ll weave together stories from Paul Revere’s famous ride, to the longshoremen and immigrants who made the neighborhood a mecca of shipping, to paint a picture of Boston’s evolution into a major American capital from the 17th to the 21st century.
