Two Lights For Tomorrow: Paul Revere’s Ride
2025-04-18 17:00 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | Newbury Library, 933 Route 103, Newbury, NH, 03255, United States
Join us at the Library for a discussion of Longfellow’s poem “Paul Revere’s Ride”, examining Paul Revere’s life and what really happened, followed by a lantern lighting ceremony over at the Center Meeting House to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s ride. This event is part of a nationwide “Two Lights for Tomorrow” program, remembering that this is “not about history just for history’s sake; it’s about reminding people what it was all for in the first place and how we’re called to continue creating that “more perfect union” each and every day, together.”* https://america250.org/event/two-lights-for-tomorrow-5
