The Lexington Historical Society along with the Lexington Minute Men and the National Lancers re-create Paul Revere's arrival with William Dawes at midnight at the Hancock- Clarke House, complete with the drama of the reactions of the occupants of the house. 

Paul Revere’s famous Midnight Ride, as recounted in the not-so-accurate poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, started in Charlestown with the purpose of alerting John Hancock and Samuel Adams about the departure of the British Regulars from Boston headed West.
