Old North Church
Admission includedStanding on Salem Street in Boston's historic North End, Old North Church draws you into the very moment American history pivoted. The red-brick steeple that once held two signal lanterns still rises above the neighborhood rooftops, grounding you in a story that unfolded more than two and a half centuries ago. A visit to Old North Church connects the cobblestones beneath your feet to the events of April 18, 1775.
