Old State House Lion & Unicorn

It was the site of the Boston Massacre when British soldiers opened fire on colonists in an altercation, killing five and injuring three more. The building was a prominent reminder to the colonists that they were subjects of the King, its lion and unicorn statues as symbols of the monarchy. The Old State House is open Thursday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM. Price of admission is $15 per adult excluding parking.
