This memorial marks where Paul Revere was said to have been captured by the British on the night of April 18th, just down the road from the Hartwell Tavern in Concord, Mass. Along with Revere, William Dawes Dr. Samuel Prescott were the other two riders. Dawes was thrown off his house, but Prescott made it the Tavern and awakened Ephraim who sent his slave, Violet, down the road to awaken Samuel Hartwell next door. Mary Hartwell then took over and relayed the message to Captain William Smith, commanding officer of the Lincoln Minute Men. Thus the Lincoln Minute Men were warned in time, and arrived at the North Bridge before the British soldiers got there. Aug. 19, 2017
