Old North Church - Massachusetts Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

There are literally dozens of markers here at the Old North Church, site of the signal lanterns that alerted Paul Revere to the British invasion. One plaque, from the City of Boston (1924), left of the entrance to the church, reads:

"The signal lanterns of Paul Revere displayed in the steeple of this church April 18, 1775 warned the country of the march of the British troops to Lexington and Concord."

Another very large plaque, on the tower of the building has the same text - just much larger. Inside the church are a number of plaques. One noteworthy one, with intricate detail work and imagery, reads:

"Presented by the parishioners of Boston, England to mark the 350th anniversary of the foundation of the City of Boston, Massachusetts 1630-1980."

Outside, in the courtyard, is one of the most marker-dense areas of Boston. If you feel the inclination, please transcribe them in your logs!

When logging a Massachusetts Historic Marker, we ask that you not only describe your visit, but to upload a picture from it.

But a photo of you standing next to the marker or a photograph the subject of the marker - those are examples of possible photographs to upload.
