Join us for an exclusive speaking program featuring Joe Bagley, City of Boston’s Chief Archaeologist, who will unveil groundbreaking, never-before-heard stories of Charlestown’s earliest residents. Drawn from recent archaeological discoveries, these narratives illuminate the sacrifices made by ordinary families whose homes were sacrificed for the cause of liberty during the American Revolution’s Battle of Bunker Hill. For the first time, the everyday heroes of Charlestown will be identified and commemorated.  

The evening builds to a dramatic crescendo with a live historical reenactment: Paul Revere’s arrival at City Square. Rowing across the Charles River under the shadow of night, Revere will step ashore to confirm that two lanterns glowed in the Old North Church—a signal that sparked a revolution. Watch as he mounts his horse and races off on his legendary “Midnight Ride” to Lexington, a moment that echoes through history.

Encounter Paul and Rachel Revere in their home as he prepares to depart on his Midnight Ride. Tour the museum’s Visitor Center, where museum staff will share the full story of Revere’s adventures on April 18, 1775. 

As the evening progresses, gather in North Square to witness Revere’s departure from his home, and follow in his footsteps as he makes his way stealthily to the waterfront.
