A college run by a city, not a state, with its main campus inside a downtown office tower — a few steps from the granite church where two U.S. presidents are buried.
Every campus tells one story to visitors and another to itself. This walk covers both. Four stops over 0.3 miles, about 38 minutes of walking. Every stop narrates itself when you get there, at whatever pace you feel like walking.
It is one of five tours in Quincy, each taking a different line through the city. Nothing is booked and nothing expires, so you can start it on a whim and finish it whenever you like.
