Boston African American National Historical Site

Revolutionary Spaces is a merger between the Bostonian Society and Old South Association, offering a unique and immersive exploration of American history through two iconic sites in Boston - the Old State House and Old South Meeting House. These historic buildings serve as gathering spaces for the open exchange of ideas and the practice of democracy, providing thought-provoking exhibits, compelling tours, educational offerings, and engaging public programs. Constructed in 1713, the Old State House was the center of royal government in the Massachusetts Bay colony and witnessed significant events of the Revolution, including the Boston Massacre. The Old South Meeting House, built in 1729, played a crucial role in the American Revolution, hosting stirring mass meetings that led to historic events like the Boston Tea Party. Revolutionary Spaces aims to deepen our understanding of the past and foster 21st-century conversations within these 18th-century buildings.Generated from the website
