The 250th Celebration Begins

Two lights were placed in the top north window of the Wells County Historical Museum for April 18-19 to commemorate that famous ride of Paul Revere. This also represents the first shots on the green at Lexington that were fired April 19, 1775. The night before, Paul Revere saw the lights in the old North Church in Boston and then made that famous ride through the night to alert the colonists.
