The Old South Meeting House in Boston

The Old South Meeting House in Boston , Massachusetts , USA, was the site of the public debate that ultimately led to the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773. At the time, the church, built in 1729 , was one of the largest buildings in Boston and served as a meeting place. After the building was nearly destroyed in the great Boston fire in 1872, the Congregation built a new church in Copley Square, which it still uses today. The Old South Meeting House is now a museum and an important stop on the Freedom Trail , which connects the historic sites related to the American Struggle for Independence.

The Old South Meeting House is at the intersection of Washington and Milk Streets and there is a fee to enter. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966 .
