Gravure représentant la Old North Church vers 1882.

La Old North Church est la plus vieille église de Boston et est un site National.

Elle fut construite en 1723, en s'insirant des œuvres de Christopher Wren, un architecte anglais, responsable de la reconstruction de Londres après le grand incendie de 1666.

C'est au haut de son clocher que Paul Revere fit allumer deux lanternes pour prévenir de l'invasion britannique dans la ville.
