• Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum - As the tour continues along Boston’s Harborwalk, participants will gaze across the water to see a genuine relic from the past: a colonial ship laden with tea crates! The tour will explore the events of Boston’s Tea Party and delve deeper into the causes of the riot, the high taxes, and the impact of a distant international war on the price of tea in Boston.
• Federal Reserve Bank of Boston - Directly across the street, the Federal Reserve stands as a striking example of modern architecture. As the tour passes by, participants will uncover the fascinating stories behind its seemingly mundane name.
• Atlantic Wharf - At Russia Wharf, the Harborwalk journey officially begins, taking participants back in time. The tour will explore the thriving international trade during the colonial era, which laid the groundwork for the legendary Boston Tea Party.
• Harbor Towers - The Brutalist-style Harbor Towers are impossible to miss. While Brutalism was a popular architectural style in the 1970s, it now divides opinions. Some find a unique beauty in the stark, imposing structures, while others see them as simply unattractive. The tour will discuss the towers, Boston’s balance between affordable and luxury housing, and one of the city’s most ambitious projects: cleaning up the harbor.
• Rowes Wharf - The journey leads to Rowe’s Wharf, named after a tea smuggler who played a role in the “Tea Party.” Participants will learn about John Rowe and his legal escapades as they walk through.
• The Marina at Rowes Wharf - The Harbor Hotel is an architectural marvel, seamlessly blending modern and colonial styles. Its 80-foot copper dome features a glass cupola. By standing in the center of the archway and looking up, participants can see through the dome to the glass cupola above.
• Long Wharf - The tour along the picturesque Harborwalk concludes at one of Boston’s most historic locations: Long Wharf. From colonial skirmishes with the British to modern tourist crowds, this Wharf remains a vibrant Boston destination. Participants can enjoy the views and history as the tour wraps up at this scenic spot.
• New England Aquarium - The tour approaches a popular Boston attraction along the Harborwalk: the Aquarium! This massive attraction is partially constructed over the Harbor, providing the aquarium with access to Boston Harbor’s natural environment.
• Boston Harborwalk - The Harborwalk stretches 43 miles, but the tour will focus on the historic Waterfront District from South Station to Long Wharf, covering just about 1 mile. Participants will explore everything from the Boston Tea Party to the latest skyscrapers along the shore.
