If America has a birthplace, this is it.  As the largest building in eighteenth-century Boston, Old South hosted some of the most important town meetings, where colonists debated and protested everything from forced impressment, to military occupation, to tea taxes.  Samuel Adams, John Hancock and Benjamin Franklin are just a few of the many figures that used Old South to press their cause.

Old South was built in 1729 to serve as a Puritan meeting house, and it's large open floor plan enabled nearly 6,000 colonists to gather under one roof. Once war broke out in 1775, the British holed up in Boston and converted Old South into an indoor riding school - removing and pews and pulpit and filling in interior with dirt. After the war it took the congregation eight years to restore the damage.

Although it survived the Great Boston Fire of 1872, the building was little used and was slated for demolition in 1876.  That it survives today is thanks to a group of twenty women who organized a $400,000 fund-raising campaign to save the building and open it as a museum.

Today you can still visit the Old South Meeting House, where thoughtful displays recount it's place in history. Also, be sure to gaze up at the steeple, where a 1766 tower clock (still operating) and an 1801 Paul Revere Bell keep the time.

The room was wonderful. Spotless and spacious. It's in a great location and easy acces to the room. The "complimentary earplugs" were no where to be found as the weekend proved to be louder but it was the upstairs neighbours that were loudest. Bring earplugs and your own conditioner.
