Three if by Medford

We had a great time in Medford Square earlier today when Paul Revere made his annual ride through the city — which ended not with his arrest at the hands of the Redcoats in Lincoln but rather at the Paul Revere Restaurant in West Medford.

He and some suspiciously modern-looking soldiers and motorcycle officers stopped at the historic Captain Isaac Hall House, where they warned the captain and his wife, Abigail Hall, that the Redcoats were on their way. Today the building is home to the Islamic Cultural Center of Medford.

The first video is by my son, Tim Kennedy; I shot the second as well as the photos below.
