  • Discover the concealed past of the Underground Railroad, tracing its origins back to the turbulent era before the American Civil War.
  • Explore Beacon Hill's historic cobblestone lanes, marveling at iconic landmarks like Acorn Street, Louisburg Square, and Charles Street.
  • Journey into the past, unraveling the stories of Boston abolitionists who courageously spearheaded America's "Second Revolution" to abolish slavery.

Step back in time with a stroll down Boston's historic Beacon Hill, the setting of the city's spirited fight against legalized slavery. Embark on the Black Heritage Trail, a walking path that weaves a tale of bravery and resistance. Led by an expert local guide, this 2.5-hour tour takes you from Boston Common to hidden Underground Railroad sites, grand homes of the "Boston Brahmins," and essential abolitionist landmarks like the African Meeting House.

The intimate small-group setting allows an immersive dive into the tumultuous years from 1833 to 1863, a period teetering on the edge of the Civil War. Experience the echoes of 19th-century Bostonians, each wrestling with the morally fraught practice of racial enslavement in the U.S.

Guided by the enthralling narrative spun by Hub Town Tours, participants gain a fresh perspective on Boston's pivotal role in America's "Second Revolution." As the group navigates past Civil War landmarks, the guide paints a vivid picture of local Bostonians finding their courage, raising their voices, and demanding an end to injustice sweeping across their nascent nation. So, don't hesitate! Book now and take a walk through history.
