Families explore the story of William Fly, whose Boston arrest and trial marked the end of piracy’s Golden Age. Pirate-themed crafts and activities take place inside the Old State House, where the government that sentenced Fly once met.
The program is a modern version of the children’s hours once held at Old South Meeting House. Activities are included with museum admission, and visitors age 17 and younger receive free admission to both the Old State House and Old South Meeting House all day.
