Lighting the Way in Ridgefield: 250 Years Since Revere’s Ride

On the evening of April 18, 2025, America will commemorate the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s legendary Midnight Ride, a pivotal moment in American history. This event precedes the lead-up to the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the United States of America, next July 4, 2026.

On April 18, 2025, there is a nationwide call for two lights to be displayed in every statehouse. Paul Revere’s ride is not just something that mattered then; it’s something that matters today, and for our collective tomorrow.

In Connecticut, all community centers, municipal administrative buildings, museums, cultural centers, and private residences are encouraged to display 2 lights on this Friday night, April 18.
