The Paul Revere Heritage Site (PRHS) is a nine-acre parcel on the east branch of the Neponset River located in the heart of Canton, Massachusetts. It was here that the genius and audacity of Paul Revere and his family met a young nation’s need for high quality copper sheathing, along with brass items from bells to cannons.
