There are two ways for visitors and school groups to learn more about the history of the Old North.

(1) Free History Presentation
Everyone is encouraged to visit the Church where a Guide will present a brief 7–10 minute presentation on the history of Old North highlighting the founding of the Church, items of architectural interest, and the role of the Old North in the American Revolution.

Advance notice of a group visits to the Old North for the History Presentation is NOT required, but is always appreciated. Contact the Lead Guide at (617) 523-6676 ext. 108 or by email at Tours. Provide the name of your group, the date and time you plan to visit, the number of students and adults in your group, and contact information. You WILL NOT receive a follow-up call or email unless there is a problem with the day or time you plan to visit. Otherwise, we look forward to seeing you!

The Old North is not a publicly funded landmark; we suggest a voluntary donation of $1 per student for the History Presentation.

(2) Behind the Scenes Tours
The Behind the Scenes tour offers a more in-depth view of the Old North and its history. The tour takes visitors into the Church's gallery, up to the bell ringing chamber in its steeple where a teenage Paul Revere worked as a member of the bell ringer's Guild, and down into the crypt where 1,100 bodies are buried.

For families and small groups, Behind the Scenes tours are offered hourly on weekends in June, daily from July to October, and the week between Christmas and New Year's.
