Old North’s campus is home to two excellent gift shops, both of which are housed in historic buildings with unique stories to tell. Learn more about Two Lanterns: Gifts at Old North Church and Heritage Goods + Gifts.
Two Lanterns: Gifts at Old North Church
We’re thrilled to share that Old North’s Gift Shop is now Two Lanterns: Gifts at Old North Church. Our reimagined shop features decor and gifts closely linked to the history of our campus and the city of Boston. Two Lanterns offers a new line of exciting products, many of which are handcrafted by American artisans. Best of all, 100% of each purchase at Two Lanterns supports the preservation and interpretation of Old North Church.
Two Lanterns is located in what was once the St. Francis of Assisi Chapel, an important religious and cultural center for Italian Protestant immigrants living in Boston’s North End. Built in 1918, the chapel ministered to Waldensians, a medieval Christian sect with origins in the 12th century.
Heritage Goods & Gifts in The Clough House
The Clough House is temporarily closed but will reopen later in the spring of 2026.
Heritage Goods + Gifts is a unique retail space that harkens back to childhood in days gone by. Taking inspiration from the Unearthing Childhood exhibit located across the hall, this gift shop features vintage toys, games, and activities that kids have enjoyed since the 18th and 19th centuries. Visitors will find classics like marbles, dominoes, jacks, and building logs. In addition to these throwback items, the shop also offers archaeology kits, gardening items, arts and crafts, specialty foods, sweet treats, and so much more. Stop by and find the perfect gift!
Heritage Goods + Gifts is located in the Clough House, one of Boston’s oldest surviving brick residences. The home was built on pastureland around 1715 by Ebenezer Clough, who was the master brick mason of Old North Church. Before he began work on the church, he built this house for his family as well as five other houses like it on Unity Street. The Clough House is one of only three remaining brick structures that date to the first decades of the 1700s in Boston, making it quite unique today.
