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.
