Join the Friends of the Boston Harborwalk on a Guided Walking Tour Exploring Castle Island
About this Event

Please join Mike Manning on a special evening guided walking tour of Fort Independence at Castle Island. This tour will focus on the history of Castle Island from the first fort (1634) to the present day fort (1830s). We'll walk the perimeter of the fort and discuss Edgar Allen Poe, the Quasi War, the Spanish American War, and the fort's present day recreational use. In addition, we'll talk about the inner harbor islands, the massive Boston harbor clean-up, Logan International Airport, and the Conley container terminal. Then we’ll venture inside the fort and make our way up to the ramparts for a spectacular view of the city at sunset.

We'll plan to meet to the right of Sullivan's at the picnic tables where you'll see a blue pole beacon with a small wind turbine and solar panel. All are welcome, but please only RSVP if you plan to come, as space is limited. We also want to be able to contact you in case of inclement weather.

Tour starts/ends at Sullivan’s outdoor picnic tables ~ 1.5 miles

Please wear comfortable walking shoes and bring your own water bottle

The Friends of the Boston Harborwalk is an all-volunteer group affiliated with Boston Harbor Now. The group meets monthly to promote awareness, public enjoyment and local stewardship of Boston’s 43-mile Harborwalk. For more information on membership, please contact Mike Manning, Chair, at [email protected].
