Old North Church

Built in 1723 and located in the North End, this is Boston's oldest standing Church building and officially known as "Christ Church in the City of Boston". Several gardens grace this location: the 18th Century Garden, the St. Francis of Assisi Garden, the Washington Memorial garden, and the Third Lantern Garden. These are great to visit in the summer, with walkways, shade, and 18th century annuals and perennials. The interior high box pews and brass chandeliers, as well as the Church's first clock are all original. The oldest bells in Boston also reside here, which have been restored a couple of times and ring regularly, usually on Saturday mornings. One of the historic landmarks along the Boston Freedom Trail.
