Paul Revere House
The c.1680 downtown home of the Revolutionary silversmith — the oldest building in downtown Boston.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
A rare, tangible 17th-century house museum where you stand in the actual rooms Revere lived in.
Our read - 02
The catch: it's very small and quickly toured, the self-guided rooms can feel sparse, and it's a brief, modestly-priced stop rather than an experience.
