“One if by land, and two if by sea!” The Old North Church is world famous for the events of April 18, 1775, when allies of Paul Revere secretly climbed the church’s steeple and held high two lanterns as a warning that British troops were traveling to Concord. This brave act ignited the American Revolution.
