Paul Revere House
Experience everyday family life in 18th-century Boston.
Built about 1680, this is the last remaining structure from 17th-century Boston. Revere owned the home 1770-1800, leaving from here for his Midnight Ride on April 18, 1775. After years as a boardinghouse, tenement, and shops in the 19th century, the house was saved from demolition by a Revere descendant and restored. It opened as a museum in 1908.
