SUMMARY:Prescott's Ride & The Lincoln Alarm (Minute Man NHP)
DESCRIPTION:“LISTEN my children\, and you shall hear. Of the midnight ride of…” Samuel Prescott? \nOn the evening of April 12\, 2025 join National Park Rangers as we commemorate and explore the true story of the famous midnight ride 250 years ago. On April 19th 1775 a midnight alarm spread across Massachusetts about the impending march of British soldiers from Boston to Concord. In 1860\, the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow immortalized the story of Paul Revere and his midnight ride but what about the many other alarm riders that evening? \nContrary to Longfellow’s poem\, Revere never made it to Concord. A British patrol captured Revere and others at the boarder of Lexington and Lincoln\, Massachusetts near 1:00 am. Riding alongside Paul Revere\, Concord local Samuel Prescott made a daring horseback escape and spread the alarm onward. Prescott returned to the main road near Hartwell Tavern\, spreading the alarm to Lincoln before riding off to Concord. Join National Park Rangers for a nighttime open house and immersive 250th living history experience at Hartwell Tavern in Lincoln\, Massachusetts. \nSchedule of Events:\n6 PM- Hartwell Tavern Open House\nJoin Park Rangers and Living Historians and explore the true story of the midnight ride. \n8 PM- Immersive Park Ranger Program\nExperience the excitement of April 19\, 1775\, when the midnight alarm swept through Lincoln\, Massachusetts. \n9 PM- Site closed \nParking:\nHartwell Tavern Parking Lot: 112 North Great Road\, Lincoln\, Ma. \nThis event is co-sponsored by Friends of Minute Man National Park
