No Tax on Tea! This was the decision on December 16, 1773, when 5,000 angry colonists gathered at Old South Meeting House to protest a tax...and started a revolution with the Boston Tea Party! Built in 1729, Old South Meeting House was the largest building in colonial Boston. From outraged protests over the Boston Massacre, to the night when Samuel Adams gave the secret signal to throw 340 crates of tea into Boston Harbor, colonists came to the Meeting House to protest British rule. Our museum and historic site is an important stop on your Freedom Trail Tour or visit to Boston, and our award-winning Museum Shop is a favorite of tourists and locals alike! From our informative exhibits, 3D map of colonial Boston, and scavenger hunts, to taking in the beauty of our historical meeting house interior, to browsing the titles, locally-sourced goods, and revolutionary gifts of our museum shop, we have something for everyone.

If you can catch a talk/presentation do it. We have been twice over two years and the kids enjoyed both visits. There is usually someone to answer questions or have a chat about anything on...

You should absolutely do this. Such a beautiful part of history. And the entrance fee was really cheap too.

Another must stop while on the Freedom Trail. The history alone had me in awe. I'm so happy places like these are preserved. The price to do the self guided tour are incredibly fair, considering...

Good for a quick visit. 20-30 minutes tops. Signage throughout the Meeting House was pretty informative.
