Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's 1775 midnight ride, warning Americans about the British troops advancing upon the Massachusetts countryside.
We're celebrating this historic event with a patriotic party! We'll be open late, until 7pm, so working families can enjoy the fun.
There will be some colonial-era treats like Boston Brown Bread, fun activities, and crafts. Kids can make a stick horse to "ride," while adults can make punched tin luminaries. a reading of "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow at 6:30pm.
This event is free, but we are gratefully accepting cash donations to help fund celebrations in 2026, the 250th anniversary of America's founding.
We hope that the Princeton Historical Society and the City will help us display two lights in a prominent place tonight, in keeping with a nationwide request by the Veterans Administration. Learn more at Two Lights for Tomorrow.
