Paul Revere: Dispelling the Myth

  • Putnam County Library 214 South Mccoy Street Granville, IL, 61326 United States (map)

Join David Gain, Curator of the Paul Revere House in Boston, for an engaging look at the life and legacy of one of America’s most iconic patriots. This program explores how much of the Midnight Ride story holds up to history while revealing lesser-known aspects of Revere’s life as a skilled silversmith, businessman, Freemason, devoted family man, and active participant in the American Revolution. Presented by the Paul Revere Memorial Association, which operates the Paul Revere House and preserves a nationally significant collection of 17th- and 18th-century artifacts, this talk offers fresh insight into the man behind the legend and the enduring relevance of his story today.
