About Paul Revere House

Built about 1680, this wooden house at 19 North Square is downtown Boston's oldest building, and Paul Revere owned it from 1770 to 1800. Tours are self-guided, with text panels and museum interpreters, a colonial kitchen and hall downstairs, and upstairs chambers with period furnishings, including several Revere family pieces. Lathrop Place next door is the education and visitor center, with exhibits and the museum shop. A courtyard with gardens and a Revere bell joins the buildings.
