SUMMARY:Lanterns & Luminaries with Ken Burns
DESCRIPTION:In honor of the 250th anniversary of the “two if by sea” lantern signal\, Lanterns & Luminaries 2025 will be a unique event filled with commemoration\, inspiration\, and celebration. Filmmaker Ken Burns will accept the Third Lantern Award\, which is presented annually to an individual who embodies the values symbolized in Old North Church’s iconic signal lanterns: leadership\, courage\, hope\, tenacity\, and active citizenship. \nWith Ken’s much-anticipated film\, “The American Revolution\,” scheduled to air on PBS in the fall of 2025\, we cannot think of a better person to honor with the Third Lantern Award in this anniversary year. Ken’s documentaries and approach to filmmaking have been an inspiration as we bring the past to life for hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. His films demonstrate time and again that recounting history is not simply a retelling of events and facts — it is finding the human story\, the universal experiences that allow us to put ourselves in the shoes of those who lived decades or centuries ago. His masterful storytelling and willingness to face America’s complexity and contradictions head-on have been the platonic ideal we strive for in our interpretation of Old North’s three centuries of history. \nFor questions about our sponsorship opportunities\, which range from $2\,500 to $50\,000\, contact Nikki Stewart at nstewart@oldnorth.com. \n
