Curated by ACT

"One if by land, two if by sea." This famous quote was the direction Sexton Robert Newman was to follow by shining a lantern from the Old North Church steeple to warn the patriots that the British were coming. The church is the oldest in Boston and holds history for one infamous night in April, 1775.
