Plan Your Adventure at Old North!
“One if by land, and two if by sea!” With two lanterns shining from its steeple on April 18, 1775, Old North Church lit the way for the American Revolution. As the United States marks 250 years of independence in 2026, there is no better time to explore the revolutionary history of Boston’s oldest church building.
