Online Speaker Series

Each year, Old North Church & Historic Site presents a series of history talks on Zoom that bring experts and audiences together to explore topics from Boston’s Black history to archeological discoveries in our crypt, from the Women’s Suffrage Movement to “fake news” in Revolutionary America. We challenge ourselves to engage with big ideas about what it means to be an American, the complicated legacy of revolutions, and the ways that some people are spotlighted or silenced in our historical narratives. We invite you to check out our Events page to see what is coming up next!
