Walking tours of historic Boston

Charles Swift of the City Record and Boston News-Letter blog is offering his first walking tour of Beacon Hill this week: Wednesday, 7 June, 6:00-7:30. As you can see from that blog, Swift has a deep knowledge of the city's architectural history over the centuries.

Gary Gregory at Lessons on Liberty offers costumed tours along the Freedom Trail on weekends. He's been doing that for a few years now, and has impressed me with his commitment to sharing unvarnished Revolutionary history.
