Dusk settles over Boston Common and the city exhales; lantern-lit lampposts throw long shadows across flagstones as the audio begins. On this self-guided walk you move on foot through tight colonial streets, past moss-dark gravestones and hotel corridors where voices from past centuries still seem to linger. The narration guides you; your feet set the pace.
