Management
 

Boston National Historical Park is an association of sites that tell the story of Boston in the American Revolution and the Navy’s role in preserving the principles of freedom that were the basis of the nation. It was designated a national park on October 1, 1974.

The park is distinctive, mixing historic buildings and landscapes owned by the city, the state, the federal government, and private organizations.

The request to reserve Faneuil Hall on December 16, 1873, identified the event as a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. In truth, Suffragette Lucy Stone held the first women's suffragette meeting in the "Cradle of Liberty." She surprised many with her real agenda that day.
