The Secrets of the North End
Scavenger Hunt

Follow in the footsteps of Paul Revere

Explore the twisty scenic streets of the North End on a quest for hidden history and startling stories on this team-building activity for fans of old Boston and new adventures. On teams, you’ll follow a trail of clues that follows the Freedom Trail and then goes beyond it, as you find intriguing locations and answer tricky, fascinating questions about what you find.

No knowledge of the North End is required: you just need sharp eyes, comfy shoes, and great teamwork. Along the way, expect to say things like, “I never knew that!” and “I’ve never been here!” and “That’s amazing!” and “Did that guy hang one lantern or two?”

Your team will discover…

• The historic places mentioned above on the Munch Around the North End Hunt
• The oldest sign in Boston and its connection with persecuted Quakers
• A church where the minister wound up as a character in Moby Dick
• The home of Ben Franklin’s overlooked sister, Jane
• A Salem Street salute to the “Last of the Red Hot Mamas”
• A dastardly grave robber—he literally took over a dead man’s tomb!
• The site of a sticky situation: the Great Molasses Flood of 1919

And just think of all the great places you can wine and dine at the end of the hunt!
