Join us on a trip back to Colonial Boston on this guided walking tour to celebrate the life of Benjamin Franklin.
A signer of both the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution, Franklin's colorful life and contributions as an author, entrepreneur, inventor, scientist, statesman and diplomat earned him the status as one of the most influential and recognizable of the Founding Fathers on both sides of the Atlantic.
What is less well known is that this remarkable life began as the 15th child of a tallow chandler in the Puritan town of Boston. Before his kite-flying days, young Franklin lived a humble Puritan life as a voracious reader, resourceful inventor, a printer's apprentice and with a sense of humor.
Tickets for this tour are $12 ($5 for Boston By Foot members). The tour meets outside Borders Books near Downtown Crossing.
Boston By Foot offers a wide variety of walking tours throughout the year showcasing the history & architecture of Boston. See www.bostonbyfoot.org for more information, other offerings, or becoming a Boston By Foot member for discount pricing.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable but she was so soft-spoken that it was extremely difficult to hear her over the traffic. The area is beautiful !!!
