Old South Meeting House and Tea Party lore

Old South Meeting House, built in 1729 at 310 Washington Street, was the largest meeting place in colonial Boston and served as the organizing site for the December 16, 1773, meetings that preceded the Boston Tea Party. The building is preserved as a museum and has been featured on local ghost and history tours, with anecdotal accounts of unexplained sounds and sensations linked to its Revolutionary-era gatherings. Such supernatural claims are part of touristic folklore and are treated as anecdotal and debated by scholars. The site remains an important documented landmark in Boston's revolutionary history.
