Join us in commemorating Paul Revere’s midnight ride by
serving as lights in our own community.
On the night of Friday, April 18, 1775, Paul Revere and William Dawes rode out from Boston to alert their fellow patriots of the movement of the British regulars. A signal—two lanterns in the tower of Christ Church—indicated that the troops were traveling via the Charles River. Other riders joined as well, creating a network across the Massachusetts countryside. These midnight rides preceded the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the start of the American Revolution.
Two hundred and fifty years later, Two Lights for Tomorrow commemorates this famous ride and uses the imagery of two shining lights today as a uniting call to action for citizens to serve in their communities. This national initiative encourages participation from every state and community across the country. Overnight on Friday, April 18, two lights will shine forth from statehouses across the country, including Legislative Hall in Dover.
