Loved sitting by the statue and people watch. Some venders here and there. Try to catch the lady that plays the Edison Bells near the statue, she even lets you help her play music. :)
Came here during the freedom trail tour - we loved learning about all the rich history of the church!
How cool to look up at the spire from which the Patriots were warned about the British invasion! The volunteer guides were very happy to share their knowledge about the church's unique history.
This is an amazing church.....just being there, gives you the feeling of the history of Boston and the folks that attended services here. The chucrch has been remodeled a couple of times from damage from storms, but as we were told by the priest, was restored to its original star, and folks, this is the one if by land two if by sea Paul Revere church. It's amazing and even more so if you are an episcopalian. The pipe organ has a great sound and the choir makes the acoustics work. The gardens are lovely and you are right on the freedom rail, so take advantage!

Naturally, this was of the highlights of our Freedom Trail walk. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon along with countless other tourists. After entering the crowded vestibule and making a voluntary contribution we started examining the many unique features this church offers. These included the pipe organ, the many plaques and the pillows near the alter commemorating visits by famous people like Queen Elizabeth. My son also loved the huge pews, which provided a great place to rest. We even found a pew that Teddy Roosevelt used. I only wish they would let you climb the steeple or offered a similar opportunity to learn about the lantern story. We only stayed about a half hour so maybe I missed it.
