About This Tour

The official Freedom Trail Lantern Tour offers a first of its kind experience in uncovering the dark, macabre history and mystery of the Freedom Trail! Fatal sword duels, the grave of a ruthless pirate, tales of scandalous murders, and the punishment and hanging of convicted witches: all real, and all explored on the Freedom Trail. Investigate the ghoulish side of Boston’s iconic red-lined path by lantern light with a darkly garbed Freedom Trail Player, and bring true accounts of appalling crimes, spies and assassins, cold-blooded killings, and demonic possession to life. This tour is recommended for visitors aged 12 and up.
