18 and 19: Two Lights for Tomorrow

"One if by land, Two if by Sea..." Residents are encouraged to place two lights in the window of their home or business. This is part of a nation-wide movement to commemorate the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, which took place the night of April 18. What followed were the shots at Lexington and Concord that started the American Revolution.
