Event remembers Paul Revere's bravery

FREMONT — Remember the bravery of Paul Revere warning the colonists that the British were coming with a lantern walk through Spiegel Grove on the 251st anniversary of his legendary ride on Saturday, April 18. Walk through Spiegel Grove, the Fremont-area grounds of the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums and an accredited arboretum, as you hear the poem "Paul Revere's Ride" written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Tours depart at 7:30 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. The poem will be read in sections at three different stops at the Grove, culminating with two lanterns being lighted at 8:45 p.m. in the cupola of the historic Hayes Home, which participants will see while gathered on the lawn outside the home. Tickets are required and cost $5 per person. Tickets are available at rbhayes.org and by searching for "Celebrate the anniversary of Paul Revere's ride with lantern walk at Spiegel Grove."
