SUMMARY:Innovation Trail Walking Tour (Special Boston Harborfest Edition)
DESCRIPTION:Everyone knows about *that* Revolution. But this tour focuses on scientific\, technological\, and social revolutions that started in Boston. \nIt’s Harborfest Week in Boston! \nOn this special afternoon tour\, we’ll focus on some of the scientific\, technological\, and social revolutions that started in Boston after the Revolutionary War ended. \nAnd since 2026 is the 150th anniversary of the invention of the telephone in Boston\, by Alexander Graham Bell and his assistant Thomas Watson\, we’ll take you to some of the locations tied to the earliest days of telecommunications. \nWe’ll also talk about Thomas Edison’s first failure; the grade school dropout who became one of America’s most famous inventors; the woman who may have invented the Ponzi scheme; and why we wouldn’t have had the Wizard of Oz without a Boston startup company founded in a railroad car. \nAll tickets for this tour are donate-what-you-wish! (Typical tour pricing is $20/adult\, $10/student.) But if you donate $40 or more\, you’ll get a limited edition embroidered Innovation Trail hat. (See event website for photo.) The Innovation Trail is a 501(c)3 nonprofit\, with a mission to create new kinds of STEM learning experiences for people of all ages. \nWe start at the Irish Famine Memorial\, at 24 School Street\, close to the State Street\, Downtown Crossing\, and Park Street stations on the T\, and right in front of the Old South Meeting House. \nFor more on The Innovation Trail\, visit https://theinnovationtrail.org/
