Roots of Revolution Walking Tour with Scott Alexander

Join the Rhode Island Historical Society for a walking tour of Providence, examining the roots of the American Revolution in Rhode Island with guide Scott Alexander. From the Gaspee Affair to the Act of Renunciation, discover how locals reacted to the “shot heard ’round the world” and how rebel actions led to our small state being the first to declare independence. Comfortable shoes are a must during this 75-minute walk through the historic College Hill neighborhood—tricorn hats, though optional, are always encouraged!

This tour covers approximately one mile and includes hilly terrain.

Tickets are required and are available here.
