Description

Standing at Washington and State Streets, this landmark ranks among Boston’s oldest public buildings. Inside, the Massachusetts General Court's preserved Council Chamber and House of Representatives mark the rooms where debates helped propel the American Revolution. Now run by Revolutionary Spaces, the museum interprets that civic past through immersive exhibitions and educational tours centered on the foundational arguments of American democracy.
