Boston Famous Old Houses

I'm so far behind on my posts that I'm going back to last summer for this one. Boston has a lot of history, and here are a couple of famous landmarks in the city. First is the Old South Meeting House, originally a church, it's most famous as the building in which the Boston Tea Party was organized.
We didn't have time to tour the museum inside but I did take a quick peek through the door.
Next is the Old State House, the oldest surviving public building in Boston.
On March 5, 1770, the Boston Massacre occurred in front of the building; the spot is marked.

    I would love to visit Boston again. My first visit was so rushed - I get a good sense of history when I see this third shot.
