A Fall Update from Revolutionary Spaces
Since August 1, Revolutionary Spaces has been delighted to welcome visitors to the Old State House and Old South Meeting House under strict social distancing guidelines and capacity limitations. As we enter the colder months, Revolutionary Spaces will be closed for walk-up hours beginning Nov. 1. Private bookings are available for groups of 1-8. All Revolutionary Spaces/RevolutionaryBoston gift shops will also remain closed.
