Two-Site Admission

Explore one of America's most important colonial landmarks. The Old South Meeting House is where the infamous Boston Tea Party began, and you'll get the chance to see where it all started. Learn all about the American Revolution through the interactive exhibits, and discover the play-by-play events that led to America's independence from British rule.

This unique architectural gem is the oldest surviving public building in Boston. Wander through beautifully-restored period rooms and climb up the grand staircases where history happened. You'll step into the pulpit area where pastors would preach their fiery Christian sermons and see where the party debates took place. Don’t miss the Old South Meeting House’s special exhibits, which include Voices of Protest, a retelling of the controversial and fascinating events that occurred in the building, and If These Walls Could Speak, a state-of-the-art audio exhibit.
