Boston Massacre Site by the Old State House
Select your language to auto-translate:
This was the site of the Boston Massacre, which occurred on March 5, 1770. The Massacre took place after an unfortunate chain of events led British soldiers to fire on an angry Boston mob, killing five and wounding six. Although hardly a massacre (most of the soldiers were later acquitted of blame), it was to be an important propaganda event in provoking Colonial unrest.
There is a plaque on the ground just beneath the balcony of the Old State House that marks the site.
This is a walk-by with a photo opportunity.
