Follow the footsteps of America’s founding fathers on the Freedom Trail!
About Old North Church
The enduring fame of Old North began on the evening of April 18, 1775, when allies of Paul Revere climbed the steeple and held high two lanterns as a signal that British forces were crossing the Charles River in order to march to Lexington and Concord. Old North Church tells a story of Patriots who risked everything to create a nation governed “by and for” the people. But it goes further. It is a microcosm of America as an unfinished work: an icon of liberty funded in part by slavery, a symbol of democracy where people worshiped according to social hierarchy, a 300-year-old community set in a neighborhood where successive waves of immigrants have come to pursue the American dream.
Old North Illuminated is a secular, independent nonprofit that educates and inspires diverse audiences through its work interpreting and preserving Boston’s Old North Church, an iconic landmark of the American Revolution.
About Revolutionary Spaces
Revolutionary Spaces tells the interwoven stories of two of Boston's most iconic sites—the Old State House and Old South Meeting House—and brings people together to explore America’s struggle to create and sustain a free society.
Constructed in 1713, the Old State House was the center of royal government in the Massachusetts Bay colony and the focal point for many of the Revolution's most dramatic events. It was here that the Boston Massacre occurred in 1770. Built in 1729, the Old South Meeting House was the largest building in colonial Boston and the site of the most stirring mass meetings that led to the American Revolution, including the gathering that led to the Boston Tea Party.
Today, these historic sites and museums—located just two blocks from each other in the heart of downtown Boston—provide thought-provoking exhibits, compelling tours, exciting educational offerings, and engaging public programs.
