About this Event
Join the Founder of Boston Sports Tours, Kathryn Harris, on a walking tour of sports history in the West End and beyond!

Learn about the powerful beginnings of each team, their rise to elite prominence, and how they gave Boston unforgettable record-setting runs. Get an up-close look at the stories and moments that make Boston a sports trailblazer and mecca. Discover the inspiration and complex connections between the city’s diverse populations and their accomplished sports teams. Unpack the early American values that shaped this modern sports landscape and the cultural victories and challenges along the way.
