NYC Revolutionary War-Era Walking Tour

Overview

Take a walk from the Stamp Act of 1765 through President Washington’s Inauguration in 1789. You’ll experience the spellbinding story of the unbelievable events leading up to the American Revolution. You’ll walk on the same colonial streets where it all happened.
* Listen to stories about real people like John Holt the “Liberty Printer” and Alexander McDougall, leader of the Sons of Liberty.
* Stand where George Washington had the Declaration of Independence read and where he escaped the British during the Battle of NY
* Take a walk through St. Paul’s Chapel, the town’s “Country Church” built in 1766 and still intact today. We’ll also visit some of the graves in the graveyard.

You'll see original documents and hear about events in the words of people who lived them.

If you’re travelling to NY then I highly recommend that you do one of Karen’s Patriot Tours. Karen was recommended to me by my a work colleague of my fiancée. I was incredibly lucky to get a solo tour on the day, and Karen expertly blended history, politics, and humour to bring the events of the Revolutionary War in New York to life!

Karen was fantastic. She has the unique mix of being a meticulous historian and a very entertaining and funny guide. The history speaks for itself and is an amazing and important message for all New Yorkers to remember and frankly all America and the world.

The tour was educational and enjoyable. However, what was not enjoyable was the fact that tour guide Karen spent too much time self-promoting her on line website.

I'm sorry you got that idea from the tour. I don't have a website to promote. I do ask people to follow PatriotToursNyc on social media and apologize if I mentioned it too often. Karen Q
