Argh, me hearties, and listen well, as we tell you the story of William Fly, the pirate whose arrest led to the end of the Golden age of piracy.
As part of our Hands on History series, Revolutionary Spaces is commemorating the 300th anniversary of his trial, which took place in our very own city of Boston.
Inspired by Children's Hours held at Old South Meeting House from the late 19th century through the early 20th century, Hands on History is a modern take on family fun at our historic sites and museums!
Join us at the Old State House where the government that sentenced Fly once met, and participate in some pirate themed crafts and activities.
Hands-On History Day activities are included in the price of general admission. Plus, ages 17 and under get into both the Old State House and Old South Meeting House for FREE all day long!
