Built in 1723, the Old North Church is the oldest surviving church building in the city of Boston. Today, it is a popular tourist destination along the city's iconic Freedom Trail, offering guided tours, an award-winning history exhibit, and an immersive audio guide.

Old North’s fame began on the evening of April 18, 1775, when the church sexton, Robert Newman, and vestryman Capt. John Pulling, Jr. climbed the steeple and held high two lanterns as a signal from Paul Revere that the British were marching to Lexington and Concord by sea across the Charles River and not by land. This momentous event ignited the American Revolution.
