Old South Meeting House

The original Old South Meeting House was built in 1729 by a Puritan congregation who hardly imagined the building's future prominence in American history. Within these walls Ben Franklin was baptized and Samuel Adams uttered the words that led to the Boston Tea Party.

DID YOU KNOW? After the Boston Massacre in March 1770, where five colonists were killed by British soldiers, thousands of outraged Bostonians gathered at Old South to protest.
