About

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.

Learn about 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.
