The Anne Hutchinson Tour of Provincetown


45 to 60 minutes
Free cancellation
1 - 15
Mobile ticket

Overview

Get an introduction to Provincetown from one of American history's most infamous. Anne Hutchinson knows her history well enough to have been banished from Massachusetts 400 years ago and will walk you through the center of town enlivening central sites poignant to Ptown's story. Don't expect a long trek (1 mi), but do expect the "licentiousness and sinful liberty" that got Anne banished. The tour is therefore for ADULTS ONLY and suggested 21+. For anyone who can reasonably be considered underage, IDs are required. Anne's roughly hour-long oration can create such laughter it often requires great fortitude to endure, so please consider appearing early to the tour for a drink at the Crown & Anchor patio bar. Remember, Anne's detractors not only felt she had "rather been a husband than a wife” but also that she hoped to be "extolled and admired and followed after." You can now do just that for a sampling of the experience by finding her 1600s epithet on social: @americanjesabel.

Itinerary

Stop At: Provincetown, Provincetown, Cape Cod, Massachusetts

Nearly 400 years ago, they said I had "rather bine a Husband than a Wife... a preacher than a Hearer" and banished me from Massachusetts.

Hm, well... I've been able to pull myself back and gain a toehold at the tip of the (now) state that United them all. Please join me in spreading my "corrupt opinions" once more on a history tour through Provincetown's center!

As the Puritans' worst nightmare and icon for renovating gender, I think you will find there is no better mouth from which to hear Ptown's story.

Leaning into foes' accusations of "Licentiousnesse and sinfull Liberty", some call my modern preaching comedy. Please understand therefore that the tour is for adults only.

Do not waste time in discovering the grace of true Christ in your souls and join me as a member of the Elect!

Interesting perspective and a bit irreverent. The host(ess) assumes the role of a 400 year-old colonial female firebrand and hits the nail on the head. Well done!!!

This tour was a blast! Anne Hutchinson was the perfect ambassador from Provincetown - a smart and unique personality. We especially enjoyed that the tour was more than just fast facts. Anne Hutchinson weaves a story and gives it a modern perspective. Lastly, the tour length was just right, not to...

Anne’s as smart as they come and her comedic, unsparing view of history is both entertaining and insightful. Their warm personality made our whole group feel connected.
