Here ye, hear ye! Experience Paul Revere-inspired poems, Arlington’s revolutionary history, and Dallin’s 57-year monument battle – brought to life by Arlington locals!

This free, family-friendly program will feature live readings of our two favorite Paul Revere themed poems – one authored by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and the other by Cyrus Dallin himself. Learn about the Battle of Menotomy and imagine what it was like on that tumultuous day in 1775. Then, hear the story of Cyrus Dallin’s 57-year battle to complete his famous monument to Paul Revere in Boston’s North End.

This event takes place in the newly renovated Whittemore Park in front of the Dallin Museum. Bring a chair and/or blanket. Take a tour of the Museum after the program, or head to Town Hall where Paul Revere and William Dawes arrive at noon!
