The Old North Church

Well worth taking the 30-minute $5 guided tour . Climb the steeple stairs to the bell chamber where teenage Paul Revere worked, and walk through the crypt to view the 37 tombs below the church floors. Read more

If you're following the Freedom Trail I'd highly recommend stopping in the Old North Church. You can tour on your own, but joining a guided tour is definitely worth it.

Built in 1723, this church , Boston’s oldest, played a role in Paul Revere’s famous ride on April 18, 1775.

The church bells , the oldest in America, came from England and date from 1744. They were restored in 1894 and again in 1975.

Part of the Freedom Trail in the North End, this church plays a critical role in the history of American Revolution. A must visit.

Contrary to claims, Paul Revere was never a church member, his family was Congregationalist. But he was a bell-ringer here as a young man - the church still has the contract signed by him in 1750.

Need a refill to keep touring Boston? Right across from The Old North Church is the classic Caffee Lil Italy for coffee & sandwiches .

The bust of George Washington is said to be the likeness most resembling Washington's actual appearance (according to the Marquis de Lafayette, a close friend of George's).

Awesome history, potentially biased because I'm related to Newton (the lantern lighter).

When you visit, be sure to check out the famous "third" lantern !

If you take the tour , there are two flights of thin crickety stairs to go up and back down. Be careful of that.

At the Old North Church you can view the steeple where the two lanterns were hung that signaled Paul Revere to take his famous ride , and sparked the Revolution.

Home to the oldest bells still rung in the USA.
