Nefarious Portland Walking Tour

May 1, 2023 - November 11, 2023

$42
Dugan Murphy leads a walking tour in Portland, Maine, highlighting the nefarious history of Maine's largest city.

From PortlandByTheFoot.com:

Riots, battles, mayhem, and criminal hijinks from generations past come alive with horror and humor, impropriety and inspiration.

You’ll despise the fiends who committed crimes against humanity, turning vast profits and poisoning geopolitics across the Atlantic World. Be shocked by the children who maimed one another for a nationally-sanctioned holiday. Be gob-smacked by the many ways obscure legal decisions from two centuries ago still impact you today…

And, you’ll be stirred by brave resisters whose acts of defiance expanded freedoms for modern-day Americans.

Length & difficulty level of walk

1.5 easy miles of well-paced walking, including some opportunities to sit and catch the shade when sunny. The longest distance between tour stops is about 0.2 miles (a 4-minute walk).

Participants will be asked to traverse sometimes uneven sidewalks. While there can be up to 33 stairs per tour, the route can be modified to avoid stairs while visiting all landmarks.
