Known as the "Cradle of Liberty", Faneuil Hall was built in 1740-42 by Peter Faneuil, a Huguenot merchant, to be used as a hall and donated to the city on the condition that it would be is open to the public. The ground floor is still used by the sales counters; Upstairs is the council room, which in the 18th-19th centuries was requisitioned as a meeting room for revolutionaries, and later abolitionists. The 4th floor is the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Museum ( roughly translated as Artillery museum) displaying weapons, uniforms and paintings of important battles.

The adjacent Faneuil Hall Marketplace consists of 3 long halls: Quincy Market (Quincy Market), North Market (North Market), and South Market (South Market), built in the early 19th century.
