The Freedom Trail: Enemies to this Country Guided Tour
NPS Photo/Hanson Plass
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.
Tours begin inside the Faneuil Hall Visitor Center and end at Old North Church, covering about 0.5 miles.
The tour is limited to 15 people. For the summer of 2023, this tour will be offered from May 31 - October 29, Wednesday - Sunday at 11:30am and 2:00pm.* Registration will be required; please register through the National Parks of Boston Eventbrite.
*In case of weather, Rangers will offer an indoor option in the basement of Faneuil Hall, also known as the "Find Your Park Space."
