Boston Begets a Revolution: Forgotten Stories of Patriots - Private Walking Tour

Sometimes called "the most photographed street in America", Acorn Street on Beacon Hill was built as a back alley in the 1820s for tradesmen and coachmen serving the surrounding mansions of Boston's "Brahmin" families.

Louisburg Square, named after the 1758 British victory at Fort Louisbourg during the French and Indian War, is probably the most prestigious address in Boston.

Tucked among the brick and stone buildings of Beacon Hill, there are hidden sights that are easily overlooked if you don't know where to look!

My tours are an immersive experience to help the traveler re-live the past. While we walk we will hold a conversation. Sometimes we might experience the sights, sounds and smells of historic Boston. I use one-of-a-kind maps I have personally edited going back to first sources. Special photo-transparencies are overlaid against modern sites to help you see Boston as it appeared in the past.

Cedar Lane Way appears on 18th century British maps as a place of interest to sailors and seaman near the foot of Beacon Hill before the area was later developed in the 1820 - 1850s. Ask me why?

John Hancock, the first to sign the Declaration of Independence, twice Governor of Massachusetts and a very wealthy merchant, kept his counting house money in this safe.

From this second floor balcony on the Old State House, the people of Boston first heard the reading of the Declaration of Independence on 18 July 1776. The City of Chicago offered to buy and relocate the building after its 1871 fire destroyed thousands of buildings!

Benjamin Franklin's boyhood neighborhood of the early 1700s includes Marshall Street, built by a local well-to-do but lazy mill owner.

The oldest extant home on Beacon Hill is a two-family wooden residence built by free African Americans- one the soldier who led a Black militia company responsible for protecting Boston businesses from British Loyalists during the American Revolutionary War.

Park Street Church, once the tallest building in America, has a strong abolitionist tradition of preaching with fire and brimstone. The song "America" was first sung from its steps. Billy Graham began his first crusade here in 1949.

Sometimes called "the most photographed street in America", Acorn Street on Beacon Hill was built as a back alley in the 1820s for tradesmen and coachmen serving the surrounding mansions of Boston's "Brahmin" families. The poet Sylvia Plath lived across from the top of Acorn Street.

Grand staircase entrance to the Boston Public Library.

Louisburg Square, a private taxpaying enclave on Beacon Hill built between 1833 and 1847, probably includes the most prestigious addresses in Boston. The square is and has been home to some of America's greatest authors: Louise May Alcott, Henry James, Robin Cook and Archibald MacLeish among many others. Louisburg Square was created by lowering Mount Vernon and removing the fill via the first railroad in America.
