VMI Marks 250th Anniversary of Paul Revere’s Signal
LEXINGTON, Va. April 15, 2025 — Virginia Military Institute will participate in “Two Lights for Tomorrow: A Nationwide Call to Action,” the American Revolution 250 Commission’s initiative to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s ride and the signal that warned of the British advance.
Citizens across the United States are encouraged to display two lights in the windows of homes, businesses, and government buildings to illuminate the spirit of collaboration and collective action that characterized the nation’s founding. At VMI, two lights will be placed in Memorial Hall windows overlooking Letcher Avenue from Friday, April 18 through Monday, April 21. The public is invited to drive through post during the evening hours to view the signal.
