Small but worth it. Shows a house of the period and much more of the story of Paul Revere... also has a small indoor museum and gift shop bot attached to the house....
Beware they don't like you to take pictures. With the place in need of upkeep /restoration and modern cameras it has nothing to do with the flash and all to do with they don't want people to see how small it is and not go...(I asked for the truth from a worker) there is a upstairs bedroom, a vool old kithen setup and it's not that small and is worth it so I don't see the issue with pictures. The pics would make me want to go. This and the constitution ship were my favorite.
So why no 5 stars....the pictures issue for tourist.

One of the oldest house museums of the US. Well maintained and staffed, with one person to provide explanations in each of the four rooms. Can spend 30-40 mins. Gets extremely crowded when there is a school group visiting. No picture allowed inside (which makes no sense to me).
This was very interesting though I found it odd that you couldn’t take pictures inside the home. It wasn’t very much but I would have liked to have photos to go back and remember everything that was there.
We have access to the first and second floors, but not to the attic. No photography allowed inside the house, but you can take photos in the courtyard where there are benches to sit and relax. A lot of period pieces and a few actual furniture and personal items inside the house. There's also a gift shop with two floors and a restroom in the same compound.
I haven't visited here in a few years so thought I'd pop in! There's a lot of history in the house and it's seen quite a few changes in the North End so it's incredible that it's survived!
The Paul Revere house itself consists of four rooms including the kitchen and bedrooms from Revere's time period and then a hall from its first owner who was a rich merchant. There are staff on all floors who are very knowledgeable (they also have further details on specific objects if you are interested too!).
Once you're done in the house, you walk out across a walkway into the visitors centre with the gift shop and historical displays on the second level and further displays on the ground level. The displays are small but very interesting (I especially loved the Coca Cola Revere cup!).
It's not a big site but the entrance price is very reasonable and I found the staff all brilliant! One note to make is for card payments, there's a minimum of I think 10 dollars whereas adult entry is 6 dollars (ticket booth is separate to gift shop) so don't forget cash if you're visiting solo! If you collect the NPS stamps, it's on the other side of the ticket booth so don't miss it!
