Headquarters National Historic Site to celebrate Longfellow’s life and legacy! We’ll be marking Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s 218th birthday – and the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolution – with a community reading of Longfellow poems that reflect ideas of American identity. Stay tuned for more details on signing up to read. Following a talk about Longfellow’s lasting legacy, we’ll enjoy birthday cake and then walk to the Longfellow Lot for a wreath-laying ceremony.
