Old State House is at State T station; corner of State and Washington Streets

Free and open to the public

At 295 years old, the Old State House has just undergone another major preservation project. The Old State House tower and weather-beaten North East corner have been painstakingly restored and are in wonderful condition thanks to a team of dedicated preservation professionals.The Bostonian Society invites you to join us for an evening with our preservation project team. Our architects and preservation specialists will discuss the methods and techniques that were used to restore the Old State House. Members of the team will talk about the daily challenges that were overcome, and the exciting discoveries that were made throughout the project. View the historic nails, woodwork, and masonry that were removed from the building during the preservation process, and look at photographs documenting the project. Following the presentation, enjoy refreshments and take a tour of our newly restored tower. This program is sponsored by the Lowell Institute.
