Old North Church in Boston National Historical Park is a site of great significance during the American Revolution. It was here that Robert Newman and John Pulling secretly climbed to the top of the bell tower and hung two lanterns near the windows on the evening of April 18, 1775. This signal served as an early warning spreading throughout the town, alerting the people of Boston that a detachment of British Army was crossing the Charles River and heading west to Lexington and Concord. In addition to visiting the Old North Church and Historic Site, visitors may experience a "behind-the-scenes" tour of the famous bell tower, take a tour of the crypt to learn about burial practices, and explore the gallery to discover the history of early Black congregants. There is also a scavenger hunt, The Clough House, and more to be experienced!
