Relive 1776 is a 5-part, immersive AR tour that takes you through the full Freedom Trail. A tour guide will walk with you as you relive key historical moments from the years 1765 - 1775. The events are wide ranging, including everything from trying on colonial fashion to operating a historically-accurate field cannon! After meeting Paul Revere, John Hancock, and Samuel Adams under The Great Elm Tree in Boston Common, you will help them fight back against tyranny in a series of events that lead up to the founding of America. The last experience is at Bunker Hill, where our walking tour ends. Each experience lasts 5-15 minutes, and includes a 1-minute video. They are all designed to be fun and educational, and there is no gore. Since we use AR, not VR, you won't experience nausea or safety issues. With AR, you can see the real world at all times.
