Old South Meeting House

Built in 1729, this was where some 5,000 colonists gathered on December 16, 1773, for a protest that culminated that night in the Boston Tea Party .

While here, inquire about upcoming events ; this building often has guest lecturers or speakers present in the main meeting hall. Interesting to see modern issues discussed in a historic building .

It was at this location that Samuel Adams spoke his famous words, “Gentlemen, this meeting can do nothing more to save the country ,” and the Tea party started.

Bldg w/183' steeple dates to 1729. Clock from 1770 still functional. Site of baptism of Ben Franklin. On 12/16/1773 5,000 colonists gathered here before Boston Tea Party . More info in blog. <LINK> Read more

When you visit, listen for the bell in the clock tower! It's a Paul Revere original that was installed in 2011!

Since it was the biggest building in Boston, meetings too large for Fanieul hall were moved here. One of those was the meeting that preceded the Destruction of the Tea (nobody called it a party)

Though some events are free to members only, the Old South Meeting House also hosts free ones for nonmembers. 617-482-6439, oldsouthmeetinghouse.org
