Reviews
Part of a dual site along with the Old State House, this is a smaller but still very interesting site. Along one side are displays charting the history of the site through the years based around different topics such as the Revolution and preservation. Don't miss the timeline close by as well, it's really helpful putting everything in context. You can sit in most of the pews too apart from the historical one in the corner!
Everything is pretty much in the one room (rest rooms are on lower level) so this is a great one if you're short on time.
At the moment, entry/exit is through the same door although there used to be a small gift shop on the lower level with an exit there so I'm not sure if that is permanently closed or has moved to seasonal opening.
This is a must stop during the Freedom Trail! So much history around this place! The exhibition was very interesting!
Tickets $6 for adults and $3 for children under 12. They give military and some other discounts.
Beautiful historic building with some interesting exhibits. Had a bunch of great activities for the kids that including some learning about colonial Boston and the meeting house.
Historical and beautiful meeting house. Staff here are very educated on the history and informative for visitors.
Got a groupon deal to visit both old south meeting house and old state house. It is nice for a short visit.
Fantastic museum. I really like the audio guides they had in there. I wish they had more like. It was fun to learn about the key points throughout history where this building was used and came into history. Well done
I had entry to the Old South Meeting House as part of the GoCity pass. I’m glad I was able work this sight in. I learned a lot about its history and its significance.
I really liked how it was accessible and one could sit in the pews / benches and be transported back in history.
Fun fact from the docent - the square seating areas were rented by prominent families annually and was used to bring in cushions and other conveniences for the regular 6-7 church service.
It was a neat piece of history that is still around to see where this country all started with a little tea.
