According to a press release from the Freedom Trail Foundation shared with The Patriot Ledger, visitors can “discover the indomitable women who took part in the American Revolution, and the generations of women that followed, inaugurating their own struggles for freedom and equality.”
The tours, led by costumed docents dressed in 18th-century attire, explore four centuries of revolutionary women who shaped the nation’s history.
The release noted that tour participants will have the opportunity to learn about influential individuals such as Anne Hutchinson, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Phillis Wheatley, Abigail Adams, Susan B. Anthony, and Abigail Adams. Sites on the tour include the Great Elm on Boston Common, Granary Burying Ground, Old Corner Bookstore, Old South Meeting House, and Faneuil Hall.
Each tour lasts approximately 90 minutes and departs from the Boston Common Visitor Information Center. The final opportunities for these tours will be on Saturday, March 29, and Sunday, March 30. Tours begin at 10:45 a.m.
Tickets are $17 for adults, $15 for older adults and students, and $8 for children. Ticket prices include a $1 donation to the Freedom Trail Foundation’s Preservation Fund. Purchase tickets at the Boston Common Visitor Information Center or through the Foundation’s website.
