October 7, 2026 First Wednesday Luncheon:
Listen My Children- Paul Revere- Presented by Meg Wastie
Most people have learned the history of American Patriot Paul Revere not through history books, but through the words of a poem written almost a century later.
Presenter Meg Wastie will trace the parallels between Longfellow's not-quiet-accurate "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" and the real history of Paul Revere.

westfieldhistoricalsociety@gmail.com; or, by calling 908-654-1794, before
