Guests are invited to convene in the Council Chamber at the Old State House as staff provide an overview of the Governor’s Council—the governing body that met and worked in the Chamber. Staff will also highlight important events and discussions that happened in this room, explore the important role of petitions in colonial society, and answer any questions from visitors.

Gather in the Main Hall of the Old South Meeting House to explore the building’s history, including its founding and notable congregants of color. Learn how it was used during the American Revolution, especially during the Boston Tea Party, and how we almost lost this historic building twice in the 19th century. Staff will be available for questions after the talk ends.
