About this

Visit the original Old North Church in Boston

The original Old North Church, officially Christ Church in the City of Boston and completed in 1723, stands as the city’s oldest surviving church building and a living emblem of American independence; its iconic steeple once displayed the two lanterns that signaled Paul Revere’s midnight ride, igniting the Revolutionary War, while its Georgian brick architecture, historic crypt, and active Episcopal congregation continue to welcome visitors eager to walk the same worn floorboards where signers of the Declaration of Independence once prayed.
