“Paul Revere’s Ride”: Longfellow’s Mistakes with Fred Zilian, Ph.D
Most of us have read Longfellow’s poem in our early years and assumed it was historically accurate. Not so. Longfellow wrote the poem 85 years after Paul Revere made his famous ride April 18-19, 1775. This talk will examine the historical inaccuracies of the poem and try to explain Longfellow’s mistakes. It will then address the Battle of Lexington and Concord and the significance of the “shot heard round the world.”
Food Basics for Teens with Farm Fresh RI
Teens in grades 6-12 are invited to join us for a pantry basics program, based around putting together a meal that includes protein, fat, carbs, and veggies. Participants will learn about locally sourced food and pairings for a great tasting meal that is nutritionally balanced. If anyone has allergies, we need to know prior to the program, as we cannot guarantee Farm Fresh RI will be able to accommodate. Registration is required - space is limited!
