On March 5, 1770, seven British soldiers fired into a crowd of Boston citizens. What led to this “Incident?” Join a Park Ranger as we explore the role of riots in Boston since 1700 and how the social popularity in riots effected growing tension between British Regulars and Boston colonists between 1768-1770.
Beginning at Faneuil Hall, a short walk to State Street and Old State House (meet in the Education Space in the Faneuil Hall space)
