Die immernoch aktive episkopale Kirche, Old North Church, die älteste religiöse Bau in Boston, geht auf das Jahr 1723 zurück und nimmt einen speziellen Platz in der amerikanischen Geschichte ein. In einer schicksalsträchtigen Nacht, im Jahre 1775, hielt Paul Revere nach dem Signal "Einmal, wenn über Land, und zweimal, wenn übers Wasser" Ausschau. Nachdem der Kirchendiener zwei Laternen am Kirchturm aufhing, startete Revere seinen berühmten mitternächtlichen Ritt, um alle in der Gegend aufzuwecken und vor den ankommenden britischen Truppen zu warnen. Jedes Jahr im April erinnern Mitglieder des Militärs mit einem Laternen-Service an das bewegende historische Ereignis.

This century-old Italianate structure of bronze doors and grand marble staircases, Boston Public Library was the first free municipal library in the nation. The library's first building on Mason Street was a former schoolhouse, which opened in 1854. Having received an authorized decision, the library's then commissioners located a new building for the library on Boylston Street. Thus, the Copley Square location became home to the library in 1895. Expanding the Copley Square location in 1972, the McKim building was constructed. In this National Historic Landmark, you can find collections of maps and prints, rare books and manuscripts, and fine mural series. The Boston Public Library offers daily tours highlighting famed central library buildings and art works by some prolific artists from the bygone era.
