Paul Revere House
19 North Square, Boston, MATel: (617) 523-2338 • Web: Visit this site »
In 1775, local silversmith Paul Revere left this house to warn fellow rebels Sam Adams and John Hancock that British troops were headed to Lexington to arrest them. That night was immortalized by Longfellow's poem, "Paul Revere's Ride."
The home was built in the late 1600s and bought by Revere in 1770. It just escaped the wrecking ball when Revere's descendents recovered the property in 1902. Now a national historic landmark, the building is the oldest in downtown Boston.
Admission: $2.50 adults; $2 seniors and students; $1 children.

- The kitchen was very interesting.
- The gift shop was inadequate, just a showcase of point and buy.
“A Boston must-see!!! I took my elementary age children there and we had a nice self-guided tour. We were very surprised to learn that it is air-conditioned throughout and that the rooms are so large!! We especially enjoyed the exhibits in the glass wall casings, showing many colonial artifacts. The staff was knowledgeable and accessible. Walking to the house is highly recommended, as parking nearby would be impossible. We walked through the North End brick streets from Fanuil Hall, smelling the aroma of all the Italian neighborhood restaurants. It was a wonderful cultural and historic day!!”
