Paul Revere, Silversmith: Assessing his Craft and Legacy with Janine E. Skerry and Jeannine Falino, September 14th, 6:30-7:45 pm

Join Executive Director Nina Zannieri and two noted silver experts for a thoughtful discussion of Revere as perhaps America’s best-known silversmith. Is this status warranted by his talent, a result of his “Midnight Ride” fame, or a little of both? How does his work inform our notion of craft, craftsmanship, business, and entrepreneurship?

This lecture is free to the public and can be watched online or in person at Smith Commons (5th floor), Sargent Hall, Suffolk University, 120 Tremont Street.

And stay tuned for these other lectures in our 2026 Lowell Lecture Series:

Imagining Paul Revere’s Legacy in Poetry

Paul Revere was made famous by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem, Paul Revere’s Ride, and, as part of our November 13th 2025 concert program, his life and legacy have also now been explored by Inaugural Commonwealth of Massachusetts Poet Laureate Regie Gibson in his new poem Dear Paul Revere or Forge, Shape, Shine! We are thrilled to now be able to share a recording and transcript of the poem here.
