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

Old North Church, built in 1723 and located in Boston's North End, is where lanterns were famously hung on April 18, 1775 to signal Paul Revere's riders about the British advance, an event that became a central symbol of the American Revolution and local Revolutionary-era heritage. The church operates as an active Episcopal parish and a historic site open to visitors interested in early American history. Some details of the Paul Revere signaling story are debated by historians, but the site remains a key cultural landmark in Boston.
