About this walk

From a dormitory with a dark reputation to a surgical dome that remembers its patients

Every town has stories it tells at night. Boston has more than its share. Five stops over 10.4 miles, about four hours of walking. The story for each stop plays as you arrive, so nothing has to be looked up and nobody has to be followed.

Boston has 50 MassRoam tours and no two cover the same ground. It works as well at eight in the morning as it does at dusk. Stop for coffee, pick it back up.
