Built in 1713, the Old State House is one of Boston’s most important historic sites. It served as the seat of colonial government and overlooked the Boston Massacre in 1770. Inside, exhibits explore the Revolutionary War, political debates, and the city’s colonial leaders. Outside, you can stand beneath the famous balcony where the Declaration of Independence was first read in Boston, then see rare artifacts that bring the Revolution to life. As a key Freedom Trail stop, it’s a must-see for Boston history lovers.
