Bunker Hill Monument: Remembering Revolution30–40 minutes · 7 stops
Join us in an audio exploration of what over 100,000 people commemorated on June 17, 1843, the memory of some of the men who fought at Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775, and why the monument and men continue to have relevance today.
Charlestown Navy Yard Tour45–60 minutes · 10 stops
At more than 200 years old, the Charlestown Navy Yard you see today is the product of constant change, both planned and unplanned. The central mission of the yard was always to support the US Navy—to build, repair, and modernize its warships. As the needs of the Navy changed and shifted, so did the landscape and the people at the Yard. The lasting legacy of those changes and shifts is what remains today. Join this tour to explore how the Navy Yard fulfilled its mission, and secured that legacy.
High Tide Trail20–40 minutes · 6 stops
Join the National Parks of Boston and the Stone Living Lab on the High Tide Trail! Once known as the Shawmut Peninsula, Boston’s coastline was ringed by salt marshes and beaches. Since colonization, the coastline has been filled, moved, and transformed into the Boston we know today. Now, sea level rise due to human-caused climate change is changing the coastline once again. Follow the High Tide Trail to explore the history of Boston’s changing coastline and learn what future changes may be in store.
