Old State House

The Old State House has been here since 1713. This is the balcony where the Declaration of Independence was read to the public. The Boston Massacre happened within sight of the balcony in 1770. George Washington viewed a parade from the balcony in 1789. And more recently, Queen Elizabeth addressed America from the balcony on the occasion of our Bicentennial. In the 1630's, this was a site where Puritans whipped sinners. A lot of history in one spot. Same can be said for all of Boston and New England, in general.
