Meet Paul Revere
THANK YOU Hampton Falls for participating on April 18-19th!
This April 18th-19th, Hampton Falls participated in the nation's TWO LIGHT FOR TOMORROW event that calls for two lights to be displayed across the country as "a reminder that that message of light shining out in the darkness is not just something that mattered back then - it’s something that matters today and for tomorrow."
