The streetlamps cast long, amber pools on Meeting Street as a steady Atlantic breeze nudges salt and moss through the air. A small group gathers across from the Circular Congregational Church — Adam Moore appears, voice low and direct, and the city’s shadows seem to lean in. Over the next 80 minutes you move through narrow alleys, past cobblestone lanes laid in the 1680s, and stop beneath the rail of St. Philip’s graveyard where lantern light and old stones make history feel immediate.
