That’s Mr. and Mrs. Paul Revere, the famous Boston patriots.
The program is part of the Museum’s 50th anniversary celebration as well as the opening of it special exhibit on the History of the Boston Post Road.
Dressed in period attire, actors Lee Riethmiller and Jessa Piaia will recount the exciting life in Boston’s North End when America was still a British Crown Colony.
Paul Revere married Rachel Walker in 1773, following the death of his first wife, Sarah, who died after the birth of their sixth child.
Rachel took on the care of the children, and with Paul had six more of their own.
Hear about the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, and the stirring events that led to Paul’s famous Midnight Ride in April 1775.
Lee and Jessa portray this early 19th century couple of “forthright hospitality and remarkable good humour,” as they relive the drama of Colonial unrest that culminated in America’s Revolution, and what follows during our collective journey from colonist to citizen, when Paul Revere ventures from being a respected artisan to becoming a successful industrialist in Canton, Massachusetts, during the early days of the new Republic.
This performance is appropriate for ages 10 and up.
All the galleries, gift shop and Post Office will be open starting at noon.
All children will receive a free packet of stamps.
