Paul Revere’s Ride and Marlborough in the Revolutionary War
On the night of April 18, 1775, Revere and dozens of other midnight riders, including men from Marlborough, carried the Lexington alarm into the countryside.  But this was no spontaneous uprising of patriots.  The local militia were carefully organized, well led, and prepared to defend their towns against General Gage’s Regulars.  Presented by Dr. Gary Hylander, who spoke on the Civil War at the Society October 2008 program.

Dr. Hylander is a professor of American History at Stonehill College.  He earned his Ph.D at Boston college, where his advisor and dissertation director was noted Boston historian, Thomas H. O'Connor.

Free and open to the public.
