Faneuil Hall has served as a marketplace and a meeting
hall since 1742. Funding was provided by a wealthy merchant,
Peter Faneuil, for the construction and local artisan to create
the grasshopper weather vane that still perches on the building's
cupola. Inspiring speeches by Samuel Adams and other patriots
were given that eventually led to independence from the British.
Faneuil Hall was expanded in 1806 by Charles Bulfinch. When
Boston became a city the use of Faneuil Hall as a government
meeting place came to an end, but it was still regularly used.
Today, the first floor is still used as a lively marketplace and the
second floor is a meeting hall where many Boston City debates
are held. The fourth floor is maintained by the Ancient and
Honorable Artillery Company.

For over 250 years, the marketplace has played an integral role
in the life of Boston's residents. So if you are ready to see, taste
and touch a true Boston experience, come to this historic and
exciting place .... Welcome to Faneuil Hall Marketplace.
