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.

The Dirt Museum

All the important dirt is here -- historical Cro- magnon Cave dirt, mythical Lost City of Atlantis dirt, classic rock Woodstock dirt, cannibalistic Donner Party dirt, sad and tacky Jon Benet Ramsey house dirt, plain tacky Liberace house dirt, toxic Love Canal Dirt, Elvis dirt... even criminal OJ estate dirt. Our favorite -- hallowed dirt from the driveway of Barry Manilow's Palm Springs home.
