Paul Revere’s Read

250 years ago, Paul Revere rode by night through Somerville, Massachusetts. Now, we gather by day in Somerville, New Jersey, not on horseback - but in reflection. Join us at the Old Dutch Parsonage for an afternoon of poetry, history, and action. Together, we’ll read and discuss the words that lit the spark - “Paul Revere’s Ride” and the verse that captured “the shot heard round the world.” As part of the Two Lights for Tomorrow initiative, this event honors the revolutionary past while activating the present. Guests are invited to bring supplies to support the Food Bank Network of Somerset County, answering that centuries-old signal with service, solidarity, and care. 🕯️ Poetry reading & discussion 📚 Revolutionary War history & legacy 💡 Two Lights for Tomorrow: a national movement to remember—and rise 🛍️ Donations accepted for the Somerset County Food Bank
