The Paul Revere Memorial Association preserves and interprets the life and legacy of Paul Revere by caring for his historic home and related properties in Boston’s North End. Founded in 1907 to save the deteriorating house from demolition, the organization opened the site as one of the nation’s earliest historic house museums in 1908.
Today, the Association maintains three historic buildings and offers engaging tours, educational programs, lectures, and community events that connect visitors to Revere’s work as an artisan, entrepreneur, and patriot, while placing his story within the broader context of Boston’s Revolutionary and neighborhood history.
