Boston's Old State House & Old South Meeting House Museums
Tổng quát
Vé di động
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!

The real history of Boston and American progress

5.00I had SUCH a blast talking to the staff about the Liberty Tree and other important American history that my education has neglected to inform me of until now. I could have talked to the staff member about it FOREVER, what inspiring stories of the many who were not being considered by the few powerful, rich decision makers. The video they played upstairs highlighting the indigenous families who returned to see where their ancestors where stripped of their humanity in a single decision was very powerful and changed the whole experience (in a very important and necessary way). I appreciate that they had that video, and the four exhibits in the central room (on women, Native Americans, working class, and black people at that time) more than I can express.
So much History in these 2 buildings

5.00While these are not guided tours, there is so much history and the museums are easy to navigate and learn about their historical significance. We did have a guided tour before we came back to visit of the Boston history and that helped us put into context what we saw in these 2 buildings.
Great museum, fascinating walking tour included—not to be missed!!

5.00Loved this museum. We were lucky enough to have Monica lead our tour, about the Boston massacre. She was phenomenal, despite our group having only five people, she spent a full 90 minutes with us, giving us a fascinating overview of the events leading up to this historical moment and the intrigue and ambiguity surrounding it. She made sure our group was comfortable, found lots of places to sit as she was describing things and kept our interest piqued the whole time. I cannot recommend her tour highly enough. It was included in the cost of seeing the museum.
Great history lesson

5.00The information was great… and Megan brought history to life with her insights. We had the opportunity to dialogue with her and get into the finer details of the Writs of Assistance, the framing of the Constitution and the vantage points of the writers and the populace. An incredible experience! $15 covered both the Old State House and Old South Meeting House. We visited these for about 90 minutes.

5.00Our trip to the State House ( we didn't make it to the Meeting House) was very interesting. It provided us with more information about the Revolution than we ever got in textbooks. The way everything was presented gave us a well chronicled history of the events leading up to the Revolution and beyond. The house itself was very impressive. To think, we were standing in the actual State House that stood tall while all that history surrounded it, was pretty amazing. We were glad to have had this opportunity to see it. It was well worth the trip!

5.00This is a self guided tour through the old State House and the Meeting House. The State House has many artifacts from the events leading to the Revolutionary War. The Meeting House provides a look at a large church with parishioner boxes. It is so large, that it served as a meeting location for discussion leading to acts of defiance such as the Boston Tea Party. This is a good history tour.
Love the history here.

5.00Very informative, with great visuals. Very close together. Easy walking but not accessible as far as we could see. Both sites had AC!
