Great little walk through, but hard to spot at first. The scenery is beautiful and much needed historic gem for our city. As well for our country too!

I love the idea, but there are few historic plaques/markers and nearly all the buildings are private. There is very little tour literature. With a little bit of improvement, this could be a really good learning experience.

Difficult to do bcause there are no signs for navigation. You do not know where to go and there is not much documentation abour the trail . The scenery is very nice and it`s a nice place to walk.

We took the NPS free tour with guide Dana Smith which started in front of State Capital and bronze statue of the 54th troop. It was about a two hour tour AND well worth it, actually one of the highlights of trip in Boston. We learned so much more about the 54th African American cavelry division and some personal stories as well;how a thriving free African American people came to live in the Beacon Hill district even though this was the hotbed of the white aristocracy Brahmans at the time; some historical sites but sadly not owned by original families or NPS; passing by John Kerrys house, passing through an original alley where blacks would run to avoid capture by the bounty hunters, and ending up at the African American museum on Joy St.Our guide was passionate about ensuring we got as close to possible to understanding the issues of the time, what a wealth of information he shared!This is not to be missed! I shed tears in this tour!

A nice little walk (about 45 minutes) to make on a sunny day. Download the audio book ($1.20) beforehand so you can hear the stories behind the places you visit.

Very interesting history and nice walk through a beautiful neighborhood. Cool to see one the first public schools for african americans in the counrty. Note the sights arent all marked.... finding them required some persistence and googling.
