Rochambeau Farm was alive with history, community and celebration during the Paul Revere’s Ride event on April 18. Hosted by the Bedford Historical Society and the Friends of John Jay Homestead, in partnership with the Bedford Riding Lanes Association and Two Lights for Tomorrow, the event included a rendition of the Longfellow poem about Revere’s historic ride in 1775 which marked the start of the Revolutionary War. The famous poem was woven into the day's storytelling by actor Trent Dawson of Katonah Classic Stage.
