Dinner tonight at the Wayside Inn with my coworkers.
The Wayside Inn was first owned by David Howe and was originally known as Howe's Tavern. Its name was changed to Longfellow's Wayside Inn after the poet visited the inn in 1862. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote about a fictional gathering of locals, including the inn's landlord, who described a midnight ride by Paul Revere in his now-famous poem.
“Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.”
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.”
