We visited on a Wednesday morning in mid-June 2025. We were doing this as part of the Freedom Trail. They did not open until 10AM.
This is a paid site but has a combo ticket with the Old South Meeting House as well. We were trying to complete the entire trail in the better part of a day so we didn't have much time to visit each and every site. We decided to pass on this particular one but we did walk into their gift shop area.
This is where they have their National Park Service Passport Cancellation stamp. You do not have to pay to get the stamp.
The store at least was a pretty good size and had tons of merch. Hopefully one day we'll come back and be able to actually explore the inside here. There is a sign with stantions and a small gate that said Tickets Required to enter the museum.
Just outside the front here is the Boston Massacre Site.

It was a rainy weekend in Boston and we’re looking for indoor activities and the old state house was on top of our list.
It is a true gem nestled in the heart of Boston’s historic downtown. Stepping inside feels like walking through a living timeline—every room echoes with the events that shaped America. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, blending artifacts, interactive elements, and detailed storytelling to bring the revolutionary era to life. Whether you’re a history buff or a curious traveler, this site is well worth the visit. Give yourself at least an hour or two to fully appreciate everything. Highly recommended!
