Biography

Paul Revere earned fame as a silversmith and artisan, but it was his midnight ride, the network of express riders, and his work as an engraver that connected Boston to the wider effort for liberty.

He remained active in civic affairs, promoting industrial innovation and American manufacturing, leaving a broader legacy of patriotism and entrepreneurship celebrated at Granary Burying Ground.
