Today is William Dawes’s birthday! On April 18, 1775, both Paul Revere and Dawes made rides to Lexington.

While Revere’s ride became famous, Dawes is largely unknown. In 1896, Helen F. Moore published a parody of Longfellow's poem entitled 'The Midnight Ride of William Dawes.'

Earthquake report from Old North Church: no damage!

Although some of our staff members did feel small tremors, all of our artifacts are undisturbed.

In 1930, Cyrus Dallin created his 6th prototype for a long-stalled project: a Paul Revere statue behind Old North Church. Dallin first started the project in 1883.

This model was missing for decades, but it recently resurfaced! See it at the Cyrus Dallin Art Museum.

Old North’s annual Brass Polishing Party took place this weekend! Parishioners and friends gathered to shine up the church’s chandeliers before Easter.

They look so good you would never know they’re 300 years old!

We’re doing some spring cleaning this week! Our Sexton and Facilities Assistant have disassembled and taken down our brass chandeliers so they can be polished before Easter.

Old North’s chandeliers were donated to the church 300 years ago in 1724.
