Ranger's Choice Walking Tour

Boston African American National Historic Site

Join a Park Ranger for a special guided tour exploring Boston's rich history as a city of revolutions.

The stories that define Boston are part of the unfinished legacy set into motion in the years leading up to and following the American Revolution. These ranger-led tours unpack themes and questions that originated with the founding generation. While some tours focus on the Revolutionary Period, others explore how later changemakers advocated to expand the ideals, values, and sacrifices from 1776 in order to move towards a more perfect union. Check back for information regarding 2026 programming.
