Presidential Message on the 250th Anniversary of Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride, 2025 – The White House

On the evening of April 18, 1775, a pivotal moment in American history unfolded as two lanterns were lit in The Old North Church tower in Boston, signaling to the colonists that British troops were crossing the Charles River. With this alert, Paul Revere—a silversmith passionately devoted to the independence cause—borrowed a horse and embarked on a midnight ride that would resonate through the ages.

This mission was not merely a ride into the night; it was a desperate bid to mobilize a fledgling nation. First, Revere aimed to rouse the colonists scattered across the Massachusetts countryside. Next, he stopped in Lexington to inform key resistance leaders, Samuel Adams and John Hancock, of their impending arrest by British forces. Lastly, he sought to avert the British from seizing military supplies and munitions stored in Concord, just a few miles away.

Revere’s ride was fraught with danger, yet he pressed on with urgency. After successfully warning Adams and Hancock, he was intercepted by a British patrol, but by then, his mission had already borne fruit—he had alerted his fellow patriots to the British advance. Samuel Prescott and William Dawes, undetected, continued the ride to Concord, ensuring that the nascent colonial army was poised for confrontation. This midnight ride of Paul Revere was instrumental in preparing the colonies for battle, leading to the first shots fired at Lexington Green and marking the dawn of the American Revolution.

In 1860, poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow immortalized this event with “Paul Revere’s Ride,” a piece that generations of American schoolchildren have read and recited. On this, the 250th anniversary of that momentous night, we reflect on the stirring lines that encapsulate the urgency and bravery of Revere’s journey:

“Listen my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere…

A cry of defiance, and not of fear,
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,
And a word that shall echo forevermore!”

Through these timeless verses, Longfellow ensured that the essence of Revere’s perilous ride for liberty would remain etched in collective memory.

Paul Revere was not just a master silversmith; he was a husband, a father, and a staunch advocate for liberty, risking everything to help shape a new nation. His courageous endeavor inspired patriots throughout the colonies to rise in defense of their families, livelihoods, and fundamental freedoms. As we commemorate the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride, we honor the legacy of this esteemed Boston craftsman and revolutionary hero, whose fervor for independence and audacious defiance ignited a revolution that irrevocably altered the course of history and reshaped the world.
