Walking Tour 1630: From Shawmut to Boston

Stroll through history with our newly revised walking tour of early Boston. We start with Shawmut, the land of the Massachusett people, and move to the first days of colonial Boston with the arrival of the Puritans. Who were the movers and shakers of the 1630s? What was society like? Did they really wear black hats? Join us for a fascinating hour and a half as we make our way through the landmarks of the area of original settlement and discover what life was like in the first, hard days. Your guide will be Roxanne Reddington-Wilde and the meeting place will be sent to you after registration.
