THE MIDNIGHT RIDE OF PAUL REVERE
April 12 ~ 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
We are thrilled to invite our good friend and neighbor, Tom Putnam, to the Louis T. Graves Memorial Public Library on Saturday, April 12 @ 1:00 pm to celebrate and discuss the life and legend of Paul Revere.
It was one Maine’s most famous sons, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who singlehandedly turned Paul Revere into one of the most recognized heroes of the American Revolution. As the country prepares to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the historic battles of Lexington and Concord, Mr. Putnam will offer a multimedia presentation about the events of April 19, 1775, as well as how Longfellow’s poem, Paul
Revere’s Ride, written some 86 years afterwards, memorialized Revere in hopes of inspiring Longfellow’s fellow citizens to support the abolitionist cause in the buildup of the Civil War.
A graduate of Kennebunk High School, Tom Putnam is the former Director of the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum in Boston and of the Concord Museum in Concord, Massachusetts. He currently lives here in Kennebunkport.
