Old North Illuminated has partnered with UMass Boston to offer virtual 360-degree tours of the Old North Church’s crypt, gallery, bell ringing chamber and steeple. ONI and UMass are committed to making learning as accessible as possible, and these virtual tours allow people of all abilities from all around the world to explore Old North’s most unique spaces.

The tours below can be enjoyed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or with a virtual reality headset.

We would like to recognize the following staff from UMass Boston for their contributions to this important project.
