Abigail Adams (Bunker Hill, 1775)

CRUCIBLE OF REVOLUTION
While the Freedom Trail links the structures, spaces, and final resting places for many of Boston's most famous residents, it is the historical figures themselves—their ideas, their actions, their sacrifices—that rendered these landmarks worthy of preservation. Hub Town Tours recreates the full picture of the complex, fallible, and determined individuals who spurred a town to declare war on an empire. Whenever possible, we use primary sources and direct quotations to enliven our narratives, giving voice to the men and women whose arguments and actions resulted in the creation of the United States of America.

"Just superb. You will come away knowing so much more about Boston, the underpinnings of the Revolutionary War and the key people and events."
