DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS? WELL DO YOU?
Join us, if you dare for a ''frightseeing'' adventure like no other, Old Town Trolley Tour''s- Ghosts & Gravestones. Step aboard the trolley of the damned and join your host, a 17th Century gravedigger, who is doomed to tell tales of the ''darker'' side of Boston to travelers who have the courage to learn the truth. Hear about Boston''s most sinister characters, from the Angel of Death, to the king of all killers, the Boston Strangler. Learn about all the haunts that call the ''Hub'' their home.
But that''s not all! Step inside two of the oldest burying grounds in Boston proper for a walking tour you will never forget. Learn the significance of much of the imagery we find in these 17th century burial grounds and the famous and not so famous (but even more interesting) occupants therein.
First, visit the Copp''s Hill Burying Ground in the North End, home to many interesting stories, nestled atop the tallest point in one of Boston''s oldest historic districts. Here you will visit the final resting place of Cotton Mather, a man famous for his ''intimate'' involvement with the Salem Witch Trials. Then to the Granary Burying Ground where you will visit the final resting places of many of the most famous heroes of the American Revolution including John Hancock, Paul Revere and Samuel Adams.
The adventure begins Weekends in May, then Thursday through Monday from June through September. Seven days a week in October (in conjunction with the Halloween season). Remember that half of the tour is walking, so comfortable shoes are recommended (so as not to become ''dead'' on your feet). Let us drive you to an early grave aboard, Ghosts & Gravestones!
YOU MUST BRING A PRINTOUT OF YOUR HOSTELWORLD CONFIRMATION WITH YOU AS PROOF OF DEPOSIT PAID.
