One, if by land, and two, if by sea’
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country folk to be up and to arm.
Paul Revere’s Ride
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Old Lyme joined the Nation in "Two Lights for Tomorrow." Commemorating the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's famous ride, many residents, business owners, and nonprofits displayed two lights in their window the evening of Friday, April 18. Two lights in Boston's North Church steeple meant the British were coming via sea; today the two lights are a uniting call to action for our citizens to celebrate and serve. The Battles at Lexington and Concord following the British arrival marks the beginning of America's Revolutionary War.
