The Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company is the oldest military organisation in the United States having received charter in 1638. They have a free museum which occupies the top floor meeting hall and adjacent smaller rooms at Faneuil Market building on Congress Street. Opening Hours are 9am to 3pm (Monday to Friday), closed on weekends. Here you can find quite a few historical member portraits, historical paintings, military arms, badges and other military and war items. I enjoyed seeing cannon balls recovered from Bunker Hill. Overall, a neat place to stop if you intend to visit and spend time at Faneuil Market as part of your sightseeing of the Freedom Trail attractions. Those with a particular interest in military history will enjoy spending some time here.

Wonderful display of ancient artillery! Well worth the climb up to the 4th floor, or take the elevator. Either way, it's worth your time to visit. Located inside Faneuil Hall, free to visit. It will take you about 30 minutes to walk around and see this collection. Afterwards, go back down to the second floor of Faneuil Hall, and your that as well.

There is a lot of history and really interesting selection of historical items to view. The only negative here was that there did not seem to be any chronology. Things seemed tucked anywhere instead of in order of history. Still, definitely worth the hike up the stairs!

My husband toured the facility. I sat down. I could see military uniforms, rifles from 1700's. My husband said oldest rifle he saw was 50 lbs. How did they do it. Those men way back must have been mighty strong. There were many swords on display. Pictures of former generals. This area located 4th floor Faneuill. Take elevator up.

Very cool spot though somewhat disorganized in what they're showing and explaining who they are

Very interesting Museum in the top of Faneuil Hall next to Quincy Market. They have tons military memorabilia ranging from what looked to be from the first Gulf War to the Revolutionary War. There's also tons of history and memorabilia about the artillery company itself. Very interesting museum if you were in the area and they are open.

Beautiful decor, but the exterior is under construction.

Such a neat and quiet display of historical military artifacts. Great items!

This museum/hall ..is a lost treasure trove of history. Go upstairs to see the artifacts. An excellent exhibit in the articles of our historic revolution.

Did not this existed. It is above Faneuil Hall. Great history dating to before the Revolution. Many historic people are members as well as heads of state from around the world including the Royal Family. Of England and former Presidents. Anyone with Miltary background or a Miltary brat as I am, will appreciate this.

If you know, you know.

So much cool history

Looks like a great exhibit. Closed on veterans day. Couldn't find any information about it. So quite disappointed. Homepage should update their opening times.

Very interesting. See if they have an elevator otherwise many stairs to climb.

Cool place if you like history of wars and education of slavery in Boston.

Very interesting and informative! Great display of various artifacts, including military hats, uniforms, weapons, etc

We almost skipped this in our visit to Fanueil Hall! Be sure you don't! It was so interesting!
