The Freedom Trail: Enemies to this Country Guided Tour

Learn about the difficult choices Bostonians had to make in the years leading up to the Revolution.

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. Tours have ended for the 2023 summer season. Check back in the spring for the 2024 season tour schedule. 

*In case of weather, Rangers will offer an indoor option in the basement of Faneuil Hall, also known as the "Find Your Park Space."
