Mission
The Old North Foundation was established in 1991 as a secular, independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Its mission is to:
• Guide and support the utilization and preservation of the Old North, its buildings, and it's campus;
• Foster educational and interpretative programs for students and visitors who experience the Old North; and
• Engage the public in Old North's history and its role in inspiring liberty and freedom.
Company Overview
Today the Old North Foundation, a secular, not-for-profit organization, is devoted to the preservation of Old North and to creating educational and interpretive programs for students and visitors. The Foundation has embarked on a master planning process to restore the church and transform the entire campus into an interactive learning environment.
Description
The enduring fame of the Old North began on the evening of April 18, 1775, when the church sexton, Robert Newman, climbed the steeple and held high two lanterns as a signal from Paul Revere that the British were marching to Lexington and Concord by sea and not by land. This fateful event ignited the American Revolution.
