Boston's Old State House & Old South Meeting House Museums

Aperçu
American history like you've never seen it before! Walk through the doors of two of the nation’s most significant historic buildings—the Old State House and Old South Meeting House.

Constructed in 1713, the Old State House was the center of royal government in the Massachusetts Bay colony and the focal point for many of the Revolution’s most dramatic events. It was here that the Boston Massacre occurred in 1770.

Built in 1729, the Old South Meeting House was the largest building in colonial Boston and the site of the most stirring mass meetings that led to the American Revolution, including the gathering that led to the Boston Tea Party.

Today, these historic sites and museums—located just two blocks from each other in the heart of downtown Boston—provide exhibits, tours, educational offerings, gallery talks, and public programs. Enjoy both sites with one convenient joint ticket!

From 2/17/25-2/23/25, all children ages 12 and under receive FREE admission!

An important part of the Freedom Trail in downtown Boston, the Old State House and Old South Meeting House Museums are well worth visit. Both are well preserved and contain artifacts and interpretive displays. There is a large gift shop and restrooms. The Boston Massacre sight is just out side the State House.

As part of my trip to Boston, I visited the Old State House and the Old South Meeting House. Both locations are managed by Revolutionary Spaces – admission to both locations for two days is $15. Short gallery talks take place throughout the day at both locations. Free with your admission are two docent led tours that start from both locations – sign up early as only one to two tours take place each day and are capped at 20 people/tour. I did the 75 minute "Massacre and Memory Tour" that starts from the Old State House and covers ½ mile. A similar tour titled "Slavery and Resistance in Colonial America" starts from the Old South Meeting House. The Old State House houses many exhibits - do not miss the basement exhibit describing the restoration efforts behind the Old State House. You can walk in the room and see the balcony from where the Declaration of Independence was first read. A short gallery talk discussed petitions by which Bostonians made requests to government officials. I was part of a group of five people on a docent-led tour that started outside the Old State House where the Boston Massacre took place. She gave us geographical and political context for the Boston Massacre as walked around Boston. It ended at the Old Meeting House where we learned how the Puritan church evolved from a church to a political meeting house. VACATION TIP: This is a less costly alternative to the commercial Freedom Trail tours that are expensive, crowded and may not include admission to either building. You will also be supporting Revolutionary Spaces that hosts many educational programs.
