Charles Street Meeting House overview
Charles Street Meeting House
Built in 1807, the Charles Street Meeting House served as a gathering place for the Third Baptist Church and was later used for political rallies and abolitionist meetings. It is considered one of the most important buildings in Boston for its role in the abolitionist movement.

In addition, the Charles Street Meeting House is also home to the Museum of African American History, which features exhibits and artifacts related to the African American experience in Boston and beyond.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
