Paul Revere's Midnight Ride!
On the night of April 18, 1775, silversmith and Patriot Paul Revere, along with William Dawes (and later joined by Samuel Prescott), rode from Boston to warn colonial leaders Samuel Adams and John Hancock in Lexington, Massachusetts, and alert minutemen that British troops were marching to seize weapons and supplies in Concord. Revere’s famous warning helped rouse the countryside.
The next day (April 19), this sparked the Battles of Lexington and Concord—“the shot heard round the world”—marking the start of the American Revolutionary War.

Designed in Cape Girardeau by Marie Oliver, the state flag is a lasting symbol of our state’s legacy and heritage.
