Walk through history with our updated walking tour, 1630: From Shawmut to Boston! Meet the people, places and ideas of 1630s Boston - a city built on the Native land but created in the Puritan colonial image. We start on the slopes of the Shawmut peninsula before following in the footsteps of English colonists such as John Winthrop, William Blackstone and Anne Hutchinson to discover how they saw the society they founded.
“This presentation nailed it - and should cause people to sit back and realize that mankind has done a lousy job of planning for pandemics because they don’t pay attention to history.”
