Overview
When you arrive at our Boston Location, the Abiel Smith School is your first stop. Here you can purchase tickets at the front desk, visit exhibitions, and shop at the museum store. The Abiel Smith School (1835) is the oldest public school in the United States that was built for the sole purpose of educating African American children. Its walls tell the story of abolition and equal education. Located steps away from the Massachusetts State House, the Abiel Smith School currently houses first-class exhibit galleries, education programs, and a museum store filled with books and inspired gifts.
