“Within the compass of good citizens” Paul Revere’s Masonic Journey
Steven C. Bullock, Professor of History at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, will give an in-person lecture at the Scottish Rite Masonic Museum & Library on Paul Revere and Freemasonry which will also be live streamed by local community access partner LexMedia. A livestream of the talk can be viewed here, and a recording will be available afterwards. The museum doors will open at 5, so visitors will have the opportunity to tour the galleries before the talk.
From the son of an immigrant to speaking beside the governor on Beacon Hill, Paul Revere traveled far in his extraordinary life. His membership in the Freemasons played an important role in that journey. This talk will consider how the fraternal order fit into Revere’s life—and into the development of Boston and the new nation of which they were a part.
