Join Old South Meeting House staff and neighbors for light refreshments, a short lecture at 5:15 pm on the 1729 historic site's fascinating historic preservation story, and an opportunity to explore the permanent exhibition, Voices of Protest, at your leisure. Learn why we have an 18th-century horseshoe in our permanent exhibits, how the Meeting House is indebted to a fire engine from New Hampshire, how Louisa May Alcott and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow supported the Meeting House's preservation in the late 1800s, why William Lloyd Garrison didn't - and how this building's preservation story continues as it approaches its 300th birthday!
