About this trip

About This Trip

Boston’s MetroWest is known for its rolling hills, winding rivers, and idyllic small communities, but the book “Murder & Mayhem in MetroWest Boston” has some darker stories to tell.

Join us for an afternoon of local true crime stories with one of the authors, artifacts from the actual cases, and lunch to discuss the details over.


Tour Details

Thanks to our friends at the Framingham History Center, we’re starting the spooky season early with a chilling look at the darker side of New England’s past. 


One of the book's authors will take us beyond the picturesque beauty of this region to uncover local tales of mystery, scandal, and unsolved crimes that shocked communities and continue to captivate imaginations today.


End the day at the charming Longfellow’s Wayside Inn for lunch and time to discuss these sinister stories.


Spread the Word: We require a minimum of 8 reservations to guarantee this tour.

Booking Deadline: August 10, 2025

We had a great time. Very intimate group. Tour guide was great. Hope. For more trips like this in future.
By karen S for Unicorn Tours: “A Chorus Line” in Manchester on Jun 23, 2025
Overall, the trip was a .disappointment. Lack of organization, feeling rushed at lunch, and sitting in the upper balcony, cheapest seats available. The trip was not worth the $204.00 The bus driver did an excellent job getting us home in the snow. A huge disappointment.
