If one were to think of a perfect symbol of American Revolutionary War, perhaps short of the Declaration of Independence itself, if would probably be the Paul Revereโ€™s lanterns. In an interesting twist, the โ€œOfficial Paul Revere Lanternโ€ currently displayed in the Old North Church is historic but not the original. It was created many year later for a commemorative ceremony that since then had been held annually in Boston on the day of the ride. To see the real lantern, one will have to take a trip to Concord like Revere himself and visit the Museum of Concord where one of the lanterns is now on display.

The incident at the North Bridge later was memorialized by Ralph Waldo Emerson in his 1837 poem โ€œConcord Hymn,โ€ whose opening stanza is: โ€œBy the rude bridge that arched the flood/Their flag to Aprilโ€™s breeze unfurled/Here once the embattled farmers stood/And fired the shot heard round the world.โ€
