Old North Church

Old North Church is an Episcopal Church. The bells are the oldest in America (1745), there is still the Revere family pew inside, and there is a bust of George Washington believed to be the first memorial of our first president. On April 18, 1775, Robert Newman (the sexton of the church), upon instruction by Paul Revere, hung two lanterns in the steeple, some locals say as a backup plan for signaling the rebels in case he (Revere) was captured on his way to Lexington and Concord.
