3. There are many little stops for children and hands-on exhibits. They will love this.
4. There is a room with an audio presentation - about 5 minutes long - which again does a good job of describing the Boston Massacre incident.
2. Once inside you can purchase a ticket to see the rest of the building. They do have presentations but otherwise you are on your own. Follow along the exhibit to get a thorough understanding of Boston's rebelliousness which sparked off the entire Colonial Revolution. Samuel Adams is not passed over, which is often the case, and you will also note that both sides of the Boston Massacre are presented fairly.
I stayed for one of the last tours of the day. It was great to hear the history of this place in 25 minutes. Every should stop and see John Hancock's jacket as it won't be there for much longer!
This was somewhat cool to visit although more impressive on the outside than the inside. The think that makes this building important is its age and how it was around in an earlier form during the Boston Massacre. As it's one of the stops on the Revolutionary Trail, don't skip over it. I learned a thing or two from the displays upstairs, presented intelligently.
This is included in the Boston Go Card. Not to be missed by anyone visiting the city to explore it's history. We were there for about 30 minutes.
One of the best place to see in Boston. Depicts history of America and Boston effectively. Exhibits on both floors are quite informational.
Another great piece of American History. The golden lion atop the building represents England, the silver unicorn represents Scotland. Great historical exhibits inside.
1. Yes go inside. The small gift shop is free and the National Park Rangers are there to give you background on the place.
I love this building. My tween daughter and I visited on July 4 and it definitely set the tone for the day.
5. Don't miss: John Hancock’s attire, the tiny vial of tea taken from the Boston Tea Party, the upstairs Council room where you can sit in the Royal chair at the head of the table.
