This was a great historic site and museum that's definitely worth a visit if you're in Boston. It's not an all day destination, but the prices reflect that at. We spent about 30-45 minutes here, and we're glad that we did.
The workers were very friendly and knowledge.

Great little museum, it was wroth our time. You get a good look at how they lived back in Paul Revere's time. They will let you take pictures everywhere except for in the house, which was a little disappointing.
This museum is a great spot with so much history. Definitely recommend if you’re after a more cultural experience of the city. It’s also reasonably priced and easy to take yourself round while still learning a lot.
I have been to Boston a few times for the Marathon but never really did the history walk. I went inside this place, and I am glad I did. The "history actors" were so informative and interesting that I could have stayed much longer. I would put this on your list.
Before coming to Boston for business, I purchased a GoCity all-inclusive pass that included the Paul Revere House. I visited on a Monday while walking the Freedom Trail and definitely recommend adding it to your sightseeing plans.
Qualified historians are on each floor of the house to tell you its history and how it’s changed over the years with new owners and after being essentially left to dilapidate. Also, about Paul Revere and his family. There are genuine articles of furniture owned by the Revere’s and the family that became owners after them. They’ve gone to great lengths to show both “versions” of the house.
I went to Boston during the summer, so it was a welcomed relief from the heat and a nice relaxing stop in my day. Note that there’s no photography allowed inside and advanced reservations might be required.

Of the museums on the Freedom Trail, the restored Paul Revere house is a location that is not to be missed. They have restored it so you can see the different periods that the home went through, which was delightful. The museum is not expensive and well set up. There is a lovely gift shop here and restrooms as well.
You Must Take The Self Tour!! The staff are very friendly and well versed in the history of this home and Boston. The AC pushing through the home was enough to warrant a visit off the freedom trail walk ha! But we were so surprised at the original wood from flooring to beams! They have kept such good care, please get a ticket for the donation if nothing else to keep it up!! A cool gift shop on way out in back of court.
