Safe Harbor: Boston’s Maritime Underground Railroad
Join a National Park Service Ranger for a guided tour on Georges Island and explore the untold stories of the Underground Railroad in Boston.
During the years preceding the American Civil War, Boston served as one of the most important stops on the Underground Railroad.
Did you know that many of the fugitives escaping from enslavement came to Boston by stowing away on ships from southern ports?
Join a National Park Ranger for a 60 minute guided walking tour as we explore the untold stories of men and women making daring escapes to freedom through Boston Harbor.
Meet at the wooden information booth across from the playground.
