Revere Rides Again! Rides Again! Rides Again!
Paul Revere is more than our company’s founder – he is an American hero, patriot and Founding Father. His historic ride on the night of April 18, 1775 was instrumental in America’s fight for Independence. The sign has immortalized that event since its installation more than 70 years ago, and when illuminated it is an unmistakable part of the Rome skyline, visible from a great distance.
What better time to relight this iconic sign than on the 4th of July? We hope it will shine brightly for years to come, bringing pride and good feelings for all to enjoy.
