The Old North Church (officially, Christ Church in the City of Boston), is an Episcopal mission church located in the North End neighborhood of Boston. Built in 1723, it is the oldest standing church building in Boston and a National Historic Landmark. The church is famous for its role in Paul Revere’s midnight ride on April 18, 1775. On that night, the church’s sexton, Robert Newman hung two lantern’s in the church’s steeple, which alerted Revere and the other riders to British troops’ movements prior to the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolution.
