In 1877 the Old South Association was established to preserve the Old
South Meeting House for future generations. The mission of the Old South
Association is to preserve the Old South Meeting House and its history
as inspiring symbols of free speech and democratic ideals; to sustain
its tradition as an active community meeting place for the free exchange
of ideas; and to provide a place where people can connect with issues of
the past and today through programs and exhibits. The mission is to
preserve this remarkable building and ensure that it is actively used as
a museum and vital gathering place in the city of Boston.
Today, the Old South Meeting House is a busy museum, a treasured
National Historic Landmark and an active center for civic dialogue and
free expression in the heart of downtown Boston. As a platform for free
and unfettered speech, the Old South Meeting House embodies the American
tradition of civic discussion with many spirited, thought-provoking
events. Its programs bring together people from different walks of life
with a wide range of viewpoints. The sharing of ideas, though often
contentious, is the lifeblood of our democratic community.
