The oldest black church, it's pretty exciting to be in such an historical place! Don't miss out on the excellent Museum of Afro American History as well, or head off on the Freedom Trail to see more of Boston's attractions on the African-American community.

My boyfriend and I went to this place after spying it between the trees. The church is fantastic, and the stained glass windows are just stunning. Afterwards, we took a walk around the plaza and took some lovely photos of the different angle of the church.

A romanesque church more suited to france than Boston it's a treat to look round, the exterior is really interesting adn the interior is beautiful, particularly the sanctuary, and the stained glass windows are so bright! A lovely peaceful spot to wander around for a bit and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The Old North Church played an important part in the American Revolution. In 1775, it was from this church that lanterns were used as a signal from Paul Revere that "The British are coming." This was the fateful beginning of the American Revolution, and this church played an integral part. This is one of American's most historical sites, and I like it because you can feel yourself transported back to the mid-1700s and almost feel what it was like to live in Colonial times. This is a good place for children to visit, since they study this crucial even in their history classes, so in essence, history is brought to light here. The church is small, but there is a lot to see. The guides are knowledgeable and you get a great tour. Don't miss this if you're in Boston.

One of the most important historical sites to visit in Boston, Massachusetts is the Old North Church. The Church is not only the oldest still active church in Boston, but also one of the oldest in the United States. This church was made famous during the American Revolution, when Paul Revere looked at the steeple in order to tell how the British were invading.
