SUMMARY:African American Patriots® Tour
DESCRIPTION:Freedom Trail® Foundation’s acclaimed African American Patriots® Tours celebrate the African American patriots that played a vital role in the start of the American Revolution in Boston and in the formation of our country. Led by 18th-century costumed guides\, tour-goers can view history through the eyes of these courageous men and women throughout Black History Month in February. \nAfrican American Patriots® Tours return on Sunday\, February 1 and are held on select Saturdays and Sundays in February departing at 10:45 a.m. from the Boston Common Visitor Information Center. Revolutionary figures such as Crispus Attucks\, Phillis Wheatley\, Prince Hall\, Peter Salem\, and others come to life during these 90-minute walking tours while zigzagging through the Freedom Trail – Boston’s iconic 2.5-mile brick trail leading to 16 nationally significant historic sites.

Hear about the sacrifices these patriots made\, the battles they fought\, and the legacies they left behind\, as well as the stories of significant abolitionists and civil rights activists in Boston’s history. \nThe tours are ideal for groups\, schools\, residents and those visiting the city.

SUMMARY:Henry Knox Trail 250 - Framingham
DESCRIPTION:On July 4\, 2026\, our nation will celebrate the semiquincentennial anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Leading up to this historic birthday Revolution 250 was created. In keeping with this celebratory campaign\, it is with great enthusiasm that we present the momentous commemoration of this country’s founding\, Knox Trail 250. This sequenced program is designed to represent the Henry Knox Noble Train of Artillery of 1776\, the catalyst for what we now recognize in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as Evacuation Day. \nOn the morning of January 10\, 2026\, along the Massachusetts and New York state border\, there will be a ceremony representative of the official Knox handoff that occurred in December before embarking on the historic journey. In Massachusetts\, starting in Great Barrington\, going through over 33 towns\, including locations in New York\, a simulation of the journey would be celebrated in designated hubs. \nThis sequenced parade of regional recognition will incorporate the invitation and participation of town managers\, local historians\, celebrating the commemoration and respective connections in the Noble Trail of Artillery. \nFRAMINGHAM\nSunday\, February 8\, 2026\nThe Village Hall\, Framingham Green \nCAMBRIDGE\nSaturday\, February 28\, 2026\nCambridge Public Library \nROXBURY\nSaturday\, March 7\, 2026\nFirst Church in Roxbury \nBOSTON\nTuesday\, March 17\, 2026\nDorchester Heights
