Overview

A 90-minute tour of critical revolutionary sites such as Paul Revere’s ride through town and the marching route of the Redcoats!

Ding, Ding! Jump aboard the 90-minute Revolutionary Line Trolley Tour! Travel back to the night of April 18, 1775, and experience the Redcoats’ march to Lexington and Concord, along with the midnight ride of Paul Revere as he warned residents of Somerville, Medford, and beyond of imminent danger.

Hear vivid, hyper-local stories that connect your surroundings to the famous events that ignited the American Revolution. Visit a 1635 gunpowder storage site—later known as the “spark of the Revolution”—and climb a historic tower with sweeping views of the Boston Basin to discover what placed Somerville at the center of the early war.

Along the way, your guide will highlight lesser-known sites, helping you reimagine today’s landscape and discover the stories behind those marked and unmarked places people walk by everyday.

This program is sponsored by an MA250 grant from the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism

The Sunday, 4pm trolley is SOLD OUT! Reserve your tickets before they are gone!

Start with a tour of the Powder House, then board the Trolley at Powder House park, 24 Liberty Ave. You will be dropped off in the same place at the end of the tour.
