Unless you like old churches this is probably not for you. I like the Paul Reveere courtyard behind the church. It is on the freedom trail so if you are doing that it is worth stopping; don't make a special trip.

The whole experience from walking up to the church, past the Paul Revere memorial, brings you in touch with the remnants of the Battle of Bunker Hill, the use of the Church as a warning beacon, the famous people who have attended over the years, and the fact that some British Soldiers never left there, makes the whole experience worth...
