The oldest bells in North America are at The Old North Church in Boston. The enduring fame of Old North Church and its sure place in America's story derives from a fleeting moment on the night of April 18, 1775. It was then that the sexton, Robert Newman, climbed the steeple, and briefly hung the two lanterns which touched off the War for Independence. |
