Paul Revere is famous for his midnight ride to the countryside to warn the militias that the British were coming in April 1775 before the start of the American Revolution. He was really made famous by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, which was not published until 1860 more than 40 years after his death. If you only know the poem, and not the real history you are missing a lot of the story!
Many people do not realize there were actually three riders that night: Paul Revere, William Dawes, and Dr Samuel Prescott. Even less known is that Revere and Dawes made it to Lexington to alert John Hancock and others, then Revere was captured by the British, ending his midnight ride! The British also met Prescott in Lexington, and luckily, he escaped capture to ride to his hometown of Concord and raise the alarm there. During the war Revere made rank to Lieutenant Colonel then was court martialed (and acquitted) for failing to obey orders during the Penobscot, Maine, expedition of June 1779.
In the Boston area, you can still visit Paul Revere's House which is the oldest building in the city; Rachael Revere Playground just across the street from the house and named for Paul Revere's wife; Paul Revere Mall in the North End (sorry ladies, no shopping at this mall); the Paul Revere Capture Site in Lincoln at Minuteman National Historic Park; Paul Revere Park in Charlestown and others.

Paul Revere's famous ride on the night of 18 April 1775 has only really become known about and made famous as a result of Longfellow' 1860 poem "Paul Revere's Ride".
I have also attached a photo of the house next door to Paul Revere House, perhaps someone will let me know about it!!! Leave a Comment

Boston's Italian quarter is one of its oldest and most historic neighborhoods. The famous Freedom Trail winds through the North End and has such sights as the Paul Revere House, Boston's oldest home, as well as Paul Revere's Mall and the Old North Church. The highlight for me was the food! You'll find some of the city's best restaurants in the area particularly on Hanover Street. Leave a Comment
