Fun Fact: It was at Old North Church in Boston that lanterns were hung to signal Paul Revere to begin his ride to Lexington and Concord. Actually two riders, Revere and his North Street neighbor William Dawes both set off to sound the alarm to be sure the message got through if one was captured. Revere was in fact captured, and Dawes got through, but it was Revere that Longfellow immortalized in his famous poem, “Paul Revere’s Ride.”
