FRONT ROYAL — Warren Heritage Society will host “From Lanterns to Liberty,” a free, family-friendly event Saturday, April 18, from 2 to 9 p.m. in downtown Front Royal, marking the kickoff of Warren County’s America 250 commemorations.
The event is held in partnership with the Town of Front Royal, Samuels Public Library and numerous local organizations and businesses, and is sponsored by Experience Warren County.
The afternoon portion will feature vendors, live blacksmithing, costumed interpreters, hands-on activities for children, music, storytelling and student performances, along with local food and shopping in the walkable downtown.
As evening falls, attendees can take part in the Paul Revere’s Midnight Glow Walk, carrying lanterns along Chester Street from the Warren Heritage Society to the Front Royal Gazebo. The night concludes with a recreation of the “one if by land, two if by sea” signal, followed by a musket display.
The Warren Heritage Society is located in downtown Front Royal.
