	Welcome to the Tory Trail

	The Tory Trail consists of six museum sites joining together to promote history through the stories of Loyalist families, their neighbors, and their servants. All of the allied historic sites were owned by Loyalist families during the years before the Revolutionary War. Like the Freedom Trail, the Tory Trail leaves visitors with a better understanding of the development of the Colony of Massachusetts and the beginnings of the country. The sites range from a doctor's house to a tavern to a royal governor's mansion. All sites are designated as national historic landmarks, are owned by non-profit organizations, and are open to the public. Unlike the Freedom Trail, the Tory Trail recounts the untold stories of the loyalists in 18th century America and their plight during the Siege of Boston. These forgotten people suffered greatly because they disagreed with the patriot sentiments and wanted a peaceful solution to the conflict with King George, rather than a civil war. They were driven from homes and livelihoods, many never returning to property that had sometimes been in families for generations. Come explore the trail and hear the rest of the story....
