Faneuil Hall and Faneuil Hall Marketplace

Opened in 1743, Faneuil Hall was a marketplace and the site of several speeches by Samuel Adams and others promoting independence from Great Britain. The hall remains connected to its political roots as a site for political debates and occasional bill signings, while the marketplace has grown to encompass neighboring community markets. Whether you’re here for the history, the shopping, or the dining, you’ll find more than enough to fill a long afternoon - or even a weekend - to the brim.
