What you'll do
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.
Voices of Protest
Discover the people behind the protest and learn all about free speech and how it has evolved.
You'll see tea leaves and a tea crate label from the Boston Tea Party on display, along with a 3D model of colonial Boston that's over 100 years old. Original artifacts include John Hancock's portable writing desk, a statue of enslaved poet Phillis Wheatley and her first-edition 1773 book.
Did you know?
On December 16, 1773, a herd of angry colonists (5,000 to be precise), fed up with having to pay outrageous taxes on their beloved 'cuppa tea,' among so many other things, decided that they had had enough. The Old South Meeting House, being the largest building in Colonial Boston, provided the perfect place for protest and set the stage for future events of the American Revolution, including the often-referenced Tea Party.
