NPS Photo/Hanson Plass In 1774 Paul Revere and his neighbors in the North End were forced to make difficult and dangerous choices. As sides were drawn, both Patriots and Loyalists labeled the other “enemies to this country.” Join a National Park Service Ranger for a free 75 minute walk and decide who the real "Enemies to This Country" were in the months before the breakout of the War for Independence. Tours begin inside the Faneuil Hall Visitor Center and end at Old North Church, covering about 0.5 miles. The tour is limited to 15 people. **For the 2024 season**, these tours are offered May 25 through October 1, Wednesday through Sunday at 11:30am and 2:00pm. Please register for the tour in advance on Eventbrite. *In case of weather, Rangers will offer an indoor option in the basement of Faneuil Hall, also known as the "Find Your Park Space."  For a self-guided tour of the Freedom Trail, see either the Virtual Freedom Trail® Tour or download the NPS App. If you have any questions, please contact us.
