At Revolutionary Spaces, we are celebrating the 250th anniversary of a very specific holiday that occurs every year on March 17th. No, it’s not St. Patrick's Day, which is also widely celebrated on this date. We’re talking about Evacuation Day, or the day when General George Washington forced thousands of British Troops out of Boston following an 11-month siege of the town.


Throughout March, visitors to the Old State House can explore the dramatic story of the Siege of Boston, including Henry Knox’s “Noble Train of Artillery” and how the strategic placement of cannons compelled the British evacuation. The display also features a compelling artifact story: when British troops departed Boston, they removed the original Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom that hung above the Council Chamber entrance at the Old State House. A replica now stands in its place and visitors are invited to design their own coat of arms reflecting the values and ideals they hold dear. 


Guests can explore the display daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
