On the night of April 18, the Paul Revere House will be commemorating the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride with a re-enactment of his departure from Boston. Head to the Paul Revere House Museum from 5:30-7:30pm to meet Paul and Rachel Revere at their home as he prepares to depart on his Midnight Ride. Follow Paul Revere’s departure from Boston as he walks, rows, and begins the ride that spurred the American Revolution. At 8pm, gather in North Square to witness Revere’s departure and follow in his footsteps as he makes his way stealthily to the waterfront. At 8:15pm, the lanterns will be illuminated from the steeple of Old North Church, for the famous signal. At 8:40pm, watch as Paul Revere rows across Boston Harbor and arrives at Pier 1 in the Charlestown Navy Yard where he mounts his horse and begin his ride.
