African Meeting House

This is a great way to learn all about the struggles and the joys of the African American experience and Boston culture back in the 18th & 19th century. Our guide was very passionate about the history of the hall and the people who was involved. He was also very approachable in regards to answering questions and geeking out to the history of the nation at that time. This museum is important to visit. I strongly recommend diving into this preserved piece of not only African American History but Boston and America history as well.

Our guide was very passionate and gave us a great historical context..beautifully preserved and in a beautiful location..

I will never miss an opportunity to tour an Black American museum. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and most importantly, passionate about the history. I surely learned a lot.

Hidden gem in Boston. Museum consists of African Meeting House and oldest African school in the country. The visit was truly mind-opening to see the contributions of African Americans to the vibrant religious, educational and social life of Boston/New England. I would highly recommend the guide led tour (included in the small admission price) as the guide brought out the richness of the exhibits.

The tour/tour guide were amazing. If you ever make it to Boston, please put this on your to-do list especially if you're a history buff.

Oldest black church building still in existence and the first black public school in the country (the first black public high school was in DC). A little museum is next to it with some really cool historic items!!!

There’s a small museum on the two floors of the historic school house, with a shop in the bottom where you can buy books. When you buy the $15 entry you get to see that museum and then get a led tour with talk about the historical significance of the African meeting house next door. The top floor where meetings were held is truly beautiful.

Amazing museum! I walked over only to find that you need an advanced ticket as they only allow reservations. You get 30 minutes to go through all 3 levels and 30 minutes with the amazing tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and engaging! I’m a reader so I wish they allowed more than an hour inside but overall great experience.
