Lanterns & Luminaries
April 11, 2024 |
Lanterns & Luminaries invites you to the historic Old North Church for a special evening celebrating Paul Revere’s famous “two if by sea” lantern signal. Enjoy festive music followed by the Third Lantern Award keynote address by Cmdr. Billie J. Farrell, a spirited performance of the poem "Paul Revere's Ride," and a lantern-lighting reenactment with Paul Revere on horseback. Then enjoy tasty refreshments and explore Old North’s sanctuary and newly restored crypt.
Cmdr. Farrell, a 2004 Naval Academy graduate, became the first woman to command the USS Constitution in 2022. Farrell focused on strengthening the legacy of the world’s oldest commissioned warship afloat and America’s ship of state by sharing its centuries-long history and telling the Navy story. She exemplifies the values reflected in Old North’s famous signal lanterns: courage, leadership, teamwork, and active citizenship.
Lanterns & Luminaries is our signature annual fundraiser. Tickets will be available soon. Contact nstewart@oldnorth.com for sponsorship opportunities.
