A small wooden house built in the North End in 1680, the Paul Revere House is the oldest building in Boston.
The home was purchased by Revere in 1770 when he was 35 years old. It was where he was living with his family (he had 16 children in all) when he made his famous ride to Lexington on April 18, 1775. This was later immortalized by Longfellow’s famous poem "Paul Revere’s Ride".
Today, the home is part of the Freedom Trail.
