"He said to his friend, "If the British march
By land or sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
Of the North Church tower as a signal light,--
One, if by land, and two, if by sea;"

These famous words from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem about Paul Revere's ride recount the important role the Old North Church played in the events leading up to the first shots of the Revolutionary War. Join us just a few weeks before the 250th anniversary as we sit down with Emily Spence, Director of Education at Old North Church in Boston. We'll discuss the history of the church, what occurred on April 18, 1775 and what happened during the war. We'll also discuss the exciting events the Old North Church will be doing on the 250th anniversary.
