Description
On Dock Square is Faneuil Hall, known as the "cradle of liberty". Originally built in 1740-42 by a Huguenot merchant, Peter Faneuil, as a market hall, it was presented to the city on condition that it should always be open to the public. The ground floor is still occupied by market stalls; on the upper floor is a council chamber which in the 18th and 19th centuries was the meeting-place of revolutionaries and later of abolitionists.

It also contains a military museum with weaponry, uniforms and paintings of significant battles.
