On the night of April 18, 1775, the British army invaded across the Charles River toward Lexington. The Sons of Liberty's plan went into action. This plan led to Paul Revere's famous "Midnight Ride," where he and William Dawes rode from Boston to Lexington warn the Colonists of the British Army's movements.

Paul Revere had also instructed Robert Newman, the sexton of the Old North Church, to send a signal by lantern to alert colonists in Charlestown as to the movements of the British. He told him to place one lantern in the steeple if the army moved "by land," and to use two lanterns to signal the route "by water."

Ultimately, two lanterns were placed in the steeple, signaling the British advance "by water."
