Old State House

James Powers

Was once the seat of power of the American British colonies. Now it sits in the shadow of a giant office building. The Boston Massacre occurred right outside and helped to fan the flames of revolution in the colonies. Docents were friendly and super informative. Displays were interesting and well presented. Admission to the Old State House also includes admission to the Old South Meeting House. Interesting for American history buffs.

When approaching this colonial style house it catches your eye standing so small but elegant around central Boston high rises. It was where the Boston massacre happened and later it became the first State house (the New is the golden domed one by the Boston Common park). Today it houses a small, but informative museum with a reasonable fee which also includes access to Old south meeting house close by.

This historic building is soo cool because it’s where the Declaration of Independence was read from the balcony!

Neat spot to visit along the freedom trail where the Boston Massacre occurred. The museum inside has a lot of info and artifacts from the period. You can easily spend 30 mins - 1 hour here peeking into the past. The same ticket is also valid for the Old South Meeting House which is right down the road and also recommend.
