History Lesson

Did a bit of a history tour today.

First went to Paul Revere's house. Old. Small. It was 100 years old when he bought it, so really old now.



The neighbourhood is really cool. Narrow streets, some cobbled, Little churches tucked into hidden nooks.








This house is his. There is a little sign next to the lamp post.




This is just around the corner.














Then we went down the road to the Old North Church. This is the one of "Two if by sea" fame, remember?








A little odd inside, because the pews are all partitioned off. Families would 'buy' their pew anually, and could decorate it in any way they wanted.

You will see that some have more recently been used by some more famous people.
