The Old Boston
Original Secret Tour

Join us for a 90-minute walking tour of one of America’s oldest, most vibrant neighborhoods. From the Brahmins to the mariners, to the Irish, the Jews, and the Italians … learn how each group left their mark on life, commerce and customs. Discover the mystery of the “Blinking Madonna”, the man who flew from the steeple of Old North Church in 1757 and how he did it, and what caused the great molasses flood of 1919 that swept 21 people to their death? Where do the North End secret tunnels lead? Why was Rev. Edward Taylor called the “Shakespeare of the sailor and of the poor”? Learn the answers to these questions and many more surprising, entertaining and sometimes startling secrets from Old Boston’s North End.
