While the weather remains warm enough to enjoy a stroll outside, take a walking tour of one of Boston’s great neighborhoods: Beacon Hill. Rich in both architectural and historical heritage, Beacon Hill is a perfect embodiment of old Boston. With its characteristic narrow streets, brick sidewalks, Federal and Greek Revival rowhouses, the neighborhood is a favorite of natives and visitors alike. With a reputation for knowledge and an educational mission, Boston By Foot offers its unique tours everyday of the week.
The Beacon Hill walking tour delves into the architectural history of the area as well as that of its famous residents. If you’re a book buff, be sure to take the Literary Landmarks tour, walking the epicenter of 19th century American literature and Beacon Hill. See the homes and stomping grounds of famous authors such as Nathaniel Hawthorne and Ralph Waldo Emerson. For some Halloween fun, hear stories of ghosts, gruesome murders, and all that is macabre on the Beacon Hill with a Boo! Halloween tour. With such extensive history, there is no avoiding the mystery and possibility of creepy hauntings and happenings. Founded in 1976, the year of the American Bicentennial, the Boston By Foot, Inc. has been providing Boston historical knowledge for many years. The tours will run through October 31.
