Description
Discover the stark, hidden contrasts of Boston's most famous neighborhood. On this immersive journey, you will cross an invisible but profound historical border. We begin on the South Slope, amidst the pristine, gas-lit exclusivity of the Boston Brahmins—a world of immense wealth, quiet architecture, and abstract ideals. Then, we descend into the North Slope, where a vibrant, free Black community built their own institutions, armed themselves against slave catchers, and engineered the Underground Railroad. This is not just a tour about architecture; it is a story of hypocrisy, radical resistance, and the true cost of freedom.
