Walk the Freedom Trail Like Never Before

Boston's Freedom Trail has guided visitors through 2.5 miles of American history for decades, but PastPort is redefining what that walk can feel like. With PastPort's augmented reality tour app, the past doesn't just live in plaques and pamphlets. It comes to life right in front of you. As you move through the city, historical figures appear at the very locations where they made history, speaking directly to you through your phone's camera. From the firebrands of the Revolution to the moral crusaders of the abolitionist movement, Boston's streets have never felt more alive.

PastPort currently offers two immersive augmented reality experiences built for the Freedom Trail. In Boston's Revolutionaries, you walk alongside John Hancock, Paul Revere, and the founders who risked everything to build a new nation, meeting them at the exact spots where they made history. In Boston's Abolitionists, you encounter the reformers, writers, and activists who fought to make that nation live up to its ideals, figures whose stories are too often left out of the standard tour. Both experiences are grounded in rigorous historical research overseen by our advisory board of leading historians, ensuring every word and every location is rooted in fact.

Whether you're a first-time visitor to Boston or a lifelong resident who has walked the Freedom Trail a hundred times, PastPort offers something you've never experienced before. Download the tour app, purchase your experience, and step into history. Boston's Revolutionaries and Boston's Abolitionists are ready and waiting the only question is where you want to start.
