*** About Old North Church: Known formally as Christ Church in the City of Boston, the Old North Church is the oldest standing church building in Boston, Massachusetts, and a symbol of American history. Constructed in 1723 in the Georgian style, it is famed for the pivotal role it played during the American Revolution. It was here on the night of April 18, 1775, that the church's sexton, Robert Newman, climbed the steeple and held high two lanterns as a signal from Paul Revere that the British were coming by sea, igniting the lexical fires that would lead to the nation's independence. This iconic structure not only illustrates America's past but also continues to serve as an active Episcopal congregation today.
