Boston Massacre Site

The site was really cool even though it was a couple feet off of where it should have been. It makes sense that they didn't put the memorial right in the middle of the road though. Boston in general was super awesome to see all the history that was there and has happened.

Interesting to see this site in person, historical building behind the massacre site is now the subway. I was hoping for that to be more historic...but must walk and see this site

I missed it twice and got lost. Finally, I found it. What was strange? The trolley tour mentions the building, but not that it was the site of the massacre?

A historical location you'll visit as part of your Freedom Trail walk. Standing at the location where the Boston Massacre occurred is a profound experience. It's typically a bit busy, as it's located near main roads and walkways, with pedestrians coming and going, but it's quite easy to approach. There's no cost to see it, and the location doesn't require waiting in line or navigating barriers. The site of the Boston Massacre is marked by a large circle inset with the date, March 5, 1770, in front of the Old State House (original place of colonial governance). There's something tragic yet poetic about the juxtaposition of historical events when you stand there in person. It feels altogether *real*. There are occasional music performances in front of the Old State House as well, if you want to pause a moment and soak it in.

Very informative!! The marker is located right next to the Old State House (downtown Boston).

After reading about the history of this horrible incident, the visit to this site was quite moving. It is a well-preserved site, and there are city ambassadors close by to tell you about its significance.

This was probably my most favorite historical site in the entire city. I walked over from across the street and happened onto a tour group. The guide was friendly and entertaining, and also very knowledgeable and informative on the history of the site. I enjoyed it so much that I actually regret not getting a ticket inside to see the rest of the museum building inside. Definitely going to come back and get a ticket to look inside.
