Digital Collections and Projects
The in-person exhibition, Beyond Midnight: Paul Revere, accompanied by an illustrated catalog, sought to develop the story of the American silversmith and patriot as a versatile maker of prints and objects while also maintaining sight of his ambitions as a patriot. This online resource serves as an abridged version of the Society's 2019-2020 traveling exhibition Beyond Midnight: Paul Revere. All four sections of the exhibition are represented here by a selection of objects and related text aimed at providing context for the world in which Revere navigated as an artisan and entrepreneur in pre- and post-revolutionary America.
