Old South Meeting House is an iconic building in Boston, Massachusetts, located near the city's Freedom Trail. Built in 1729, the Old South Meeting House was once the largest building in colonial Boston and was the home of the town's Town Meeting, in which citizens would gather to discuss and decide on important matters. The building was also a popular site for public gatherings and protests, and was the assembly point for the Boston Tea Party in 1773.

The building is an example of early American architecture, with a typical New England-style white clapboard exterior and a simple interior, although the building has been altered and restored several times over the years. Today, the Old South Meeting House is a museum, with collections of artifacts and art related to the history of the building and the American Revolution. The museum includes interactive displays, a period-style courtroom, and a recreated colonial-style meeting hall.

The museum also hosts a variety of events, lectures, and programs throughout the year, as well as guided tours and educational workshops. The building is open to the public and is a popular destination for school groups and tourists alike. Old South Meeting House is a National Historic Landmark, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
