Description
The Paul Revere House was the house of Founding Father Paul Revere during the American Revolution (1765-1791). Built around 1680, it is now the oldest house in downtown Boston. The three storey L-shaped wooden house is now run as an historical museum; the ground floor consists of a large hall and a kitchen with cooking implements, and the upstairs rooms contain period furnishings, including items that belonged to the family.
Access & Transport
The building is on the Freedom Trail between Faneuil Hall and Old North Church. The closest metro and light rail station is Haymarket (Orange line, B, C, D, E), a 5mins walk to the southwest. Accessibility info: https://www.paulreverehouse.org/accessibility/
