Getting To The State House
The Massachusetts State House is located on
Beacon Street.
The easiest way to get there is to take the T's Red Line to Park Street Station.
As you exit the T, you will be deposited in the Boston Common. In front of you is the Historic Park Street Church.
But if you turn to your left and look up the slope of the Common, at the top of the hill you will see the golden dome of the State House!
Well, there ya go!
Walk on up, take a tour, check out the cool statues, but before you go be sure you circle around the State House to the right!
There you will find a nice garden and memorials for Fire Fighters and Police Officers.
If you keep circling around to the back and far side of the State House, not only will you be entering the famous Beacon Hill area, but you will also get some dramatic views of the State House additions designed by the same Architect that gave us the Burrage House!
On your way up to the State House at the top of Park street is the Beacon Hill Fox25 News Studio, the place where VB always hangs out.
You may also run into "Spare Change Guy". Quite harmless and doesn't really need your money, just walk on by and try to ignore the gravelly horror movie voice!
Local lore has it that VB once had him on the newscast and since then he continues to haunt the area.....
