Old North Church

　　   Tour Guide     The church’s claim to fame:     On the night of April 18, 1775, British troops planned to raid an ammunition depot in Concord, just outside Boston. Patriot hero Paul Revere hung two lanterns in the church steeple as a warning signal to alert fellow patriots guarding the arms depot, then rode through the night to spread the news, enabling the militia to prepare for battle. This engagement marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War.    Introduction    The Old North Church is the oldest church in Boston, built in 1723. Its roof features a three-tiered steeple that rises 175 feet. The exterior is made of brick, while the interior is pure white, decorated beautifully and brightly with strong colonial influences that reflect the area’s history.        Admission/Open Hours     Open hours: 9:00–17:00, Sundays 8:30–11:00
