1. The Paul Revere Heritage Site.
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.(Submitted on August 16, 2026, by G.W.Bartlett of Hingham, Massachusetts.)
2. Paul Revere House.
On the night of April 18, 1775, silversmith Paul Revere left his small wooden home in Boston’s North End and set out on a journey that ultimately made him a legend. Today that home is still standing at 19 North Square and has become a national historic landmark. It is downtown Boston’s oldest building and one of the few remaining 17th-century dwellings in a large urban area in the United States.(Submitted on August 16, 2026, by G.W.Bartlett of Hingham, Massachusetts.)
