Speaker 2: Radio gearing up for celebrations marking the Revolutionary Wars semi quincentennial.
Speaker 2: It was nearly two hundred and fifty years ago. History
Speaker 2: was changed. With a climb up a steeple in the
Speaker 2: North End.
Speaker 1: On the night of April eighteenth, seventeen seventy five, Robert
Speaker 1: Newman and Captain John Pulling Junior hung two lanterns at
Speaker 1: the top of Old North Steeple, telling midnight riders that
Speaker 1: the British were coming by sea. But that was the
Speaker 1: easy part.
Speaker 7: As they're making their way down the steeple, there are
Speaker 7: British regulars that are already at the front door, you know,
Speaker 7: I believe, like knocking and jostling and trying to get in.
Speaker 1: That's Old North Illuminated Executive director Nikki Stewart. Old North
Speaker 1: Illuminated has lots of events planned mark the two hundred
Speaker 1: and fiftieth anniversary, including giving its third lantern ward to
Speaker 1: legendary documentarian Ken Burns. Stewart says it's the perfect time
Speaker 1: for locals to check out the history in their backyard.
Speaker 7: So many people tell me, oh, you work at Old
Speaker 7: North that's great. I went there in grade and like,
Speaker 7: this person may have gray hair when they tell me that.
Speaker 7: So I know that local folks don't take as much
Speaker 7: advantage of the sites along the Freedom Trail as they could.
