New Video Series | 99% Sure: Who Held the Lanterns in the Steeple of Old North?

By T.J. Todd

Old North Researcher


We’re excited to launch today a new web series, “99% Sure” all about the history, people, and events that made Old North the legendary historic site you know and love. Tune in every other week as Old North’s Education Manager and intrepid public historian T.J. Todd explores some of our most frequently asked questions and shares some of his favorite stories and facts about Old North. History and research can be tricky business, but we’re 99% Sure that everything you hear in this series is true.

Watch our first episode now and hear T.J. answer the 245-year-old question, who REALLY held the lanterns in the steeple of Old North on the night of April 18th, 1775? Even something this basic to our history is more complicated than you might think…
