The Bostonian Society

[4][5][6][7] The Bostonian Society no longer exists as a separate entity; on January 1, 2020, it merged with the Old South Association in Boston to form Revolutionary Spaces.

[2][5] The city of Boston still owns the structure, and it is within the Boston National Historical Park and a major site on the Freedom Trail, but day-to-day management of the site was in the hands of the Bostonian Society,[1] which maintained a museum in the building and a research library across the street.

[2][5][6] Some of the artifacts on display on the walls and in glass cases are antique rifles and other weapons, old nautical instruments from the Age of Sail, images from 18th century London newspapers expressing how Britons viewed the war, and an original Paul Revere political cartoon that was passed down through the family of Josiah Quincy I until it was donated it to the Bostonian Society in the 1880s.

[7] For several years, The Society oversaw a historic marker program across the city of Boston[12] and ran a teacher training program called "Teaching Boston History Workshops", bringing together leading experts on various subjects, community-based organizations, teachers and museum educators, and the Society's "unequalled collections of primary sources".

[11] The Society oversaw the annual Boston Massacre reenactment which occurs every year in March and has other historic programs with costumed interpreters.
