As you meander, visit the Old North Church at 193 Salem Street. It was originally constructed in 1723 and features a 191ft steeple. Itis famous because during the American Revolutionary War against Britain, it would signal with the lighting of 2 lanterns a warning to the patriots of the enemy’s approach.  This is the beat of The American Revolution, and that means you can also see the house which belonged to that great American patriot, Paul Revere 1770-1800.
