Old State House - This building was the center of Boston’s civic life in the 18th century and the scene of some of the most dramatic chapters in the lead-up to the American Revolution. Within these walls, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, and John Adams debated the future of the British colonies. The Declaration of Independence was read from the balcony in 1776. Right outside the back door is where the Boston Massacre took place. While going through the structure you can actually feel the presence of these icons of history.

Worth seeing at least once - If you’re in Boston for a history tour this is one you don’t want to miss and it’s cheap. Found it interesting that some of the things mirrored from tea party and other notable events around this building and currently being discussed today. This place certainly is a boost for the saying if you don’t learn from the past you’re bound to repeat it!
