Mill Talk: Paul Revere’s ride from patriot to manufacturing pioneer
April 30 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Listen my children and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere…
This talk will explore Revere’s patriotic technological service to his country, starting before his famous ride and ending long afterwards. Revere pioneered new manufacturing techniques in iron casting, bronze bell and cannon making, and copperwork. As the first American to roll copper into sheets for the young United States Navy, Revere’s innovative practices helped lead his young nation into the industrial age. Presented by Professor Robert Martello, Olin College.
Free to the public, but registration required. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Mill Talks at the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation are free and open to the public and are made possible by the generous support of the Lowell Institute.
