    The Old State House and Boston
    Massacre site.

    The Old State House, built in 1713, is Boston's oldest public building. This was the seat of the old Colonial Government. It is a very pretty building with a tall white spire and built with bright red bricks. The balcony is famous for being the place where, in July 18, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was read to the locals. Even importantly, the spot on the eastside of the building, Devonshire and State streets, where the Boston Massacre took place on March 5, 1770 when British soldiers killed five protesting patriots. Inside of the Old State House is a passable museum dedicated to history of Boston with special emphasis place upon the Revolution. I visited this in 1996 but took a pass on it in 2007. The museum is open from 9am to 5pm daily and it costs $5.00 to enter.

    The golden dome of the State Hall is obvious, you may get it when you just get out of the T-stop at Boylston or Park Street. If you take duck tour, the state hall is one of the spots you will visit.

    Where else but in Boston, would a building from 1798 be called the "New" State House. That's because the "Old" State House from 1713 still stands. The New State House is the State Capitol Building, and is a beautiful structure. The gold dome shines brightly and makes the New State House very easy to spot. Directly across from the front entrance is the historic sculpture depicting the 54th Regiment. This all Black Regiment served in the Civil War and is depicted in the movie 'Glory'. Inside, the New State House is very attractive. Marble is everywhere, and there are murals and stained glass windows at every turn. Guided tours are offered, or you can explore on your own.

  • Directions: At the North End of Boston Common
