2 години | Пішохідна екскурсія з історії афроамериканців Портленда

Огляд
Trace the steps of the Black Portlanders who moved our city, state, and country closer to the ideals of freedom, democracy, opportunity, and equality. Maine’s earliest settlements couldn’t have existed without Black labor, skill, and insight. You'll meet the Black Yankees who founded Maine communities, overturned slavery statewide, drove our maritime industries, gained political influence, crossed color boundaries, and expanded Mainers’ rights in the modern era.

Stepping on granite cobblestones crooked with age — that once saw footfalls from national heroes like Frederick Douglass — you’ll pass storefronts once home to Black-owned barbershops where abolitionists whispered intelligence to Underground Railroad conductors.

Enjoy 2 hours of entertaining and enlightening historical narration over a 1.5-mile route. Owner and guide, Dugan Murphy, dug through the archives to present an amazing constellation of stories left out of most tours. TripAdvisor named him Portland's #1 guide!

Another example of Black History untold. I make a point of learning something about Black history wherever I go on vacation. Not only did I learn something about Portland but American History at large. I only wished I was given a summary of all the wonderful people that I learned about. Highly recommend.

Thanks for the review! There are definitely so many connections between Black history in Portland and the rest of the country. And I am happy to send you a summary! I'll do that right now.

My wife and I really enjoyed this tour. Dugan was very engaging and open to questions. We would do another one of their tours the next time we visit.

Thanks for the review! Carrying pictures is so worth it so you can see what people looked like as I tell their stories and see what places used to look like in their time.
