The USS Constitution Museum commemorates Paul Revere—midnight rider and master craftsman—250 years after his legendary journey. From alerting colonists to forging copper for the USS Constitution, his impact remains significant.

Join interactive workshops, a lantern-making event, and a historical talk that brings Revere’s story to life. Whether embossing copper art, welcoming Revere’s arrival by lamplight, or exploring the history of his midnight ride, there’s something for everyone.

Read more about Revere’s connection to the USS Constitution on the museum’s blog.
