Old South Meeting House Description

The Old South Meeting House was built by Puritans as a church in 1729. On December 16, 1773 more than 5,000 colonists spawned the idea for the Boston Tea Party. During that operation, patriots, loosely disguised as Native Americans snuck aboard English ships and dumped tea into Boston Harbor to protest British taxes.

Today, the plain brick and wooden structure is a museum with rare historical artifacts and interactive presentations such as audio reproductions of some of the famous speeches delivered here.
