2 Hours | Nefarious Portland Walking Tour
Take a stroll on the dark side of Portland! You’ll despise the fiends who committed crimes against humanity, turning vast profits and poisoning geopolitics across the Atlantic World. And you’ll be stirred acts of defiance by the brave resisters.
Riots, battles, mayhem, and criminal hijinks from generations past come alive with horror and humor, impropriety and inspiration. Away from the well-worn path, you’ll find untold history rustling gently in the breeze.
Enjoy 2 hours of entertaining and enlightening narration over a 1.5-mile route. Explore lively boutiques and stunning mansions. Owner and guide, Dugan Murphy, is #1 in Portland on TripAdvisor!
Stories include: crimes against humanity, enslavement and human-trafficking, white-supremacist terrorism, scalping, violence committed by children on other children, maiming, suicide, domestic abuse, drowning, executions, arson, and mention of sex-work and pornography.
This tour is not appropriate for children under the age of 14.
