Why Are There Box Pews at Old North Church?

[@ciams3334]

I was at the Old North Church as a child of about 9 years old and our family was traveling throughout New England to see several historical places. Your church was one of those places. I was in awe of the boxed pews and I thought it was a way to protect each family from germs from other people. But I like the real reason.
