Leading up to the Old North Church is The Paul Revere Mall at 370 Hanover Street, a half block away from St Leonard’s Church. The mall connects Hanover Street and the Old North Church and is highlighted by a ten-foot-high statue of Paul Revere and his horse.

The Public Garden is also the location of a poignant park bench scene in “Good Will Hunting” of Robin Williams and Matt Damon with the statue of George Washington in their background.
