In early fall 1630 a thousand people stepped off their boats into a new world. They were forced to live in shacks, tents, or English wigwams. Then food began to run out. Disease began to take its toll. Any hope of replenishment by sea faded as Boston harbor froze solid and remained so for two months.


Survival: Boston 1630 explores the story of the first, dangerous year, when nearly half the original Puritans either died or fled back to England. We will then explore how they managed to combine their collective skills to succeed against incredibly daunting odds. Our walking tour immerses you in their world and shows how and why they survived in the place that became the city of Boston.


We are an all-volunteer organization. As always, our tours are free because we want to tell you about early Boston. At the same time we welcome any and all donations to defray our expenses.
