Historical Significance: The booklet describes the church's role in American history, specifically how the signal lanterns for Paul Revere were displayed in its steeple on April 18, 1775, to warn of the British troops' march to Lexington and Concord. The church building itself was constructed in 1723 and is the oldest church edifice still standing in Boston.
Authenticity: The snippet of wood is presented as a part of the original roof material, often attached with rubber bands or encased in a display holder. Similar items are sold as historical relics by various sources, who confirm their authenticity, often mentioning they were salvaged during preservation work.
Content: The booklet features an illustration of the church building and text providing historical information about the church and its services.
