"Listen my children and you shall hear of the midnight ride by Paul Revere..."

 

This statue of Paul Revere near the Old North Church (commissioned in 1899 but not dedicated until 1940) commemorates the warning Paul Revere, William Dawes, and Samuel Prescott gave to the Patriots that British troops were marching on Lexington and Concord to confiscate arms and munitions from the colonist and arrest Sam Adams and John Hancock.
