Old North Church (Christ Church in the City of Boston)

Old North Church's steeple was the location where two lanterns were shown on the night of April 18, 1775 to signal how British troops were moving - an event tied to Paul Revere's midnight ride. The specific participants and some details of the lantern signal have been the subject of historical debate. The 1723 church is preserved and interpreted for its role in the events leading to the American Revolution.
