Overview

The Old South Meeting House at Milk and Washington streets, built in 1729, was the gathering place for protest meetings before the American Revolution. On December 16, 1773, about 5,000 people met here to debate British taxation before the Boston Tea Party. British troops later gutted the building. It is a National Historic Landmark and Freedom Trail stop, run as a museum since 1877.
