The Old State House, Boston MA


The best museum we visited in Boston!  Even though it was very cold, we decided to take the free Boston Massacre Tour offered by the museum.  It was awesome!  The tour guide was energetic and a lot of fun!  I learned so much about this unique historical moment!  After the tour, we walked through the museum inside, which as only a few bucks admission.  It was small, only about five rooms but packed with really cool informational posters, interactive speakers and a multimedia room which played the story of the Boston Massacre over a speaker while lights lit up different parts of the room!  The museum was really cool and nice and easy to get through!  We were able to get off and on our way to Faneuil Hall, the next stop on the Freedom Trail!  I also stopped at the gift shop which offered a large variety of souvenirs and was able to get gifts for everyone in my family!

  1. This museum was also my favorite on my trip to Boston. The speakers knew their stuff and told it in a very easy to understand way. The experience was not information overload which can be the case elsewhere and I really feel like I benefited from visiting the Old State House. I highly suggest this place along with the rest of the Freedom Trail in Boston.
