One by land two by sea
Built in 1723, Old North Church is Boston’s oldest surviving church building and an icon of the American Revolution. Old North is famous for the events of April 18, 1775, when allies of Paul Revere secretly climbed the steeple and held high two lanterns as a signal that British forces were marching to Lexington and Concord by sea across the Charles River and not by land. This daring act ignited the Revolution. $5 admission includes a self-guided tour through the church, with staff available to answer questions. Visitors can also take add-on tours of the church's crypt, gallery, and bell ringing chamber for $5 each. Old North's beautiful campus is also home to two gift shops and the Printing Office of Edes & Gill, which offers free colonial printing demonstrations.

Quick Trip Through History for $5
This used to be a free tour, but now costs $5.00 per person. You probably won’t spend more than 10-15 minutes inside. But, it’s a neat piece of history that’s worth seeing, if you’re walking Boston’s Freedom Trail. You are not allowed up in the steeple where the famous Paul Revere lanterns were hung. But there are guides to tell you all about the event and the 298 year old church. You can sit in the box pews that America’s original patriots sat in and take in several cool historic artifacts. For an extra $5.00, you can get a tour of the crypt and catacombs beneath the church.
