The Library is located directly across the pedestrian mall from the
Old State House, at 15 State Street. It is on the third floor,
above the National Park Service Visitor Center.
FROM THE NORTH:
Take I-93 South to the Haymarket Exit. Turn right on New Chardon
Street and take your first left onto Congress Street at the traffic
lights. Continue on Congress past Faneuil Hall on your left and
Boston City Hall on your right. At the next intersection (Congress
and State Streets) you will see the Old State House on your right.
FROM THE SOUTH:
Take I-93 North and keep right in the South Station underpass and
exit at the sign for Atlantic Avenue. Stay to the left on Atlantic
and make a left turn at the State Street traffic light (New England
Aquarium is on the right). The Old State House is directly ahead in
the middle of State Street.
