Boston By Foot

Featured Tour!
Louisa May Alcott’s Boston
Sunday, May 24th, 11:00 AM

Little Women is one of the most beloved books of all time. The character of Jo March, the book’s heroine, was loosely based on Alcott's own life, growing up in 19th century New England. Today's readers tend to associate Alcott with Concord, MA, but In fact, Alcott lived for long periods in Boston. Most readers of the time associated her with the city’s vibrant literary scene. On this tour, you will see Alcott’s Boston homes, walk the streets and hear stories that inspired this popular author.

NEW TOUR!
Toward a More Perfect Union
Saturday, May16th, 11 AM & Sunday, May 17th, 2PM

Boston is often called the cradle of liberty—but what does that legacy mean today? This tour invites you to explore the powerful ideas that took root here—due process, separation of powers, and freedom of speech. But Boston’s own story also reveals the struggles to fully live up to them. You’ll see how Boston’s past still speaks to the challenges we face now. What does it take to build a truly free and just society? And how can the lessons of this city help us move closer to the democracy we aspire to be? This is more than a history tour — it’s a chance to reflect on the unfinished work of freedom and your place within it.
