Courthouse Tours open Boston’s Moakley U.S. Courthouse and the justice system to the public. Courthouse Tours afford the public opportunities to learn about the court system and the history, art, and architecture of this magnificent building from volunteer docents. The tours welcome people into the courthouse and demonstrate how these buildings are centers of education and civic life. The program demystifies the justice system and shows visitors that courthouses truly belong to the public.
During the hour-long tour, groups will view several points of interest, including a spectacular “conoid” glass wall overlooking Boston Harbor, the Ellsworth Kelly Boston Panels, the Wall of Honor, a District Court courtroom, and the First Circuit Library. The tour will allow visitors to draw connections between the founding of the federal courts and the art and architecture of the modern courthouse. Visitors are welcome to stay and eat lunch in the public cafeteria overlooking the harbor.
To request a tour, please complete your reservation below online or print this Moakley Tour Request, and fax the completed form to us at 617.748.4199 or email it to dwhite@discoveringjustice.org.
