This April, the USS Constitution Museum honors Paul Revere—the midnight rider and master craftsman—250 years after his legendary ride. From sounding the alarm for revolution to forging copper for USS Constitution, Revere’s impact on America endures.
Join us for hands-on workshops, a lantern-making event, and an expert talk that bring his story to life. Whether you’re crafting embossed copper art, welcoming Revere’s arrival by lamplight, or diving into the history of his midnight ride, there’s something for everyone.
Be part of the story—visit the Museum and celebrate Revere’s legacy this April!
