::There is a surprising lack of large history museums in Boston. Several smaller locations including The Old State House attempt to piece together the rich history of the area by showcasing some of the artifacts and recreating the history and events leading to the American Revolution along the Freedom Trail in central Boston. You should pay to visit this museum and others. Visiting the interior and experiencing the exhibits really adds depth to an otherwise easy walk along the trail. This museum has a large display about the events leading to the Boston Massacre and the harsh treatment of Boston by Great Britain leading to the Revolution. There are also recreations of how the interior looked during that time and its place in history. There are several discount passes available which are worth the price. Once you see one of these small museums, you will want to see more for a richer experience.

::In my opinion it is the finest example of colonial architecture in all of Boston; this historic site is arguably one of the three best stops on the famous Freedom Trail (the other two being Bunker Hill and Old North Church). A must see for tourists, history buffs, and admirers of fine architecture. The location, situated amongst towering glass skyscrapers seems to enhance the surprise and joy one feels upon seeing such a unique building still in tact. It appears to be transported through time into the modern day. Well worth the stop.

::I've been here on many occasions and it really impresses me every time. What is truly outstanding are the on-site staff. They answered each and every question with kindness and a vast understanding of the building and its importance. The exhibits are also incredibly interesting, as you experience them in chronological order. Lots of interactivity for kids, but plenty of things for adults as well!

::Ein absolutes muss. Im Inneren befindet sich ein netter Souvenir Shop. Das Gebäude liegt am freedom trail und hebt sich elegant von den Hochhäusern ab. Hier wurde Geschichte geschrieben.

::Das Old State Meeting Haus ist der Ort, an dem das Boston Massaker verübt wurde.
