Old South Meeting House

FREE admission to Old South Meeting House with the Go Boston Card or as a choice with the Boston Explorer Pass

Description

No tax on tea! That was the decision on December 16, 1773, when 5,000 angry colonists gathered at the Old South Meeting House to protest a tax and started a revolution with the Boston Tea Party. Built in 1729, the Old South Meeting House was the largest building in Colonial Boston and provided a stage for the drama of the American Revolution.

African American poet Phillis Wheatley and statesman Benjamin Franklin were members of Old South's congregation. As a meeting place and a haven for free speech and assembly, Old South Meeting House has been in continuous use for over 250 years. Today, you can visit this National Historic Landmark and experience events that shaped our country through the multimedia exhibition, Voices of Protest.
