The North End Historical Society would like to share the following information from our Friends at the Paul Revere House!
February Events at the Paul Revere House
During February School Vacation Week our activities will explore life in the pre-Revolutionary War North End, from a child’s perspective, as we approach the 250th Anniversary of Paul Revere’s Midnight Ride in April and think deeply about how it would have affected every member of his large family.

Hands-on Tours of the Paul Revere House Wednesday, February 19 at 10:30, 11:30, & 2:30
Designed to bring our oldest historic house to life by offering opportunities to engage with reproduction objects in each room and to consider 17th and 18th century life from a kids-eye-view, the approximately 30-minute tour is aimed at families.
On the Freedom Trail, in Boston’s historic North End, the Revere House was home to patriot and silversmith Paul Revere from 1770 to 1800. Revere left from the house in 1775 to begin the ride that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow immortalized in the poem, “Paul Revere’s Ride.” Built c. 1680, the Revere House is the oldest house in downtown Boston.
