Salem commemorates ride of Paul Revere 250 years later
SALEM, Ohio (WKBN) — It was 250 years ago last Friday that Paul Revere made his famous ride through the countryside of Massachusetts, warning that the British were coming. The Ride of Revere event in Salem was commemorated with a reenactment of the ride, starting with the lighting of two lanterns on Lincoln Plaza, followed by a man on horseback dressed up as Paul Revere riding down East State Street and into the park proclaiming that the 'regulars' were coming. It was all part of what was called Two Light Night. 'The state of Ohio had asked that all city halls put two lights up in the city hall to commemorate that and just kind of celebrate, and so in the city of Salem, we don't do boring. We wanted to make it really exciting,' said Salem Mayor Cyndi Dickey. About 150 people watched history repeat itself. The event also included a reading of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 'Paul Revere's Ride.' TJ Renninger contributed to this report. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
