Paul Revere House
Paul Revere is currently the oldest structure in downtown Boston and one of the few homes from the 17th century that are still standing in a major American city. Visitors can expect a self-guided tour of the two-story house, which includes the ground floor's kitchen from the late 18th century as well as the upstairs rooms with antiques owned by the Revere family.
Revere owned the home from 1770 to 1800. It was constructed in the early 1680s. Visitors can view historical furnishings as well as items that belonged to the Revere family inside the Elizabethan Tudor-style house.
To the south of the house is a brick-paved courtyard that features several small colonial garden plots, as well as a 900-pound bell and mortar created by Paul Revere and his sons. The garden contains a wide variety of plants grown in the Colonial Era for food, medicine, and fragrance purposes.
The Paul Revere House, one of eight locations in the Boston National Historical Park and one of seventeen stops on the Freedom Trail, is owned and run by the Paul Revere Memorial Association. In 1966, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places after being named a National Historic Landmark in 1961.
