Celebrate Traditions of the Season at the Paul Revere House & Our New Education and Visitor Center
December 3, 2016 @ 9:30 am - 4:15 pm
Visit the Paul Revere House during the first weekend in December and be amongst the first to experience our new Education and Visitor Center at Lathrop Place. This restored 1835 rowhouse, built on property that once belonged to Paul Revere, seamlessly incorporates original historic features – foundations, fireplaces, and stairways – with modern museum amenities, exhibits, a museum shop, and public restrooms.
Enjoy complimentary refreshments of mulled cider and delicious treats based on 18th century recipes in the Pierce-Hichborn House. Museum interpreters the Paul Revere House explain the sometimes surprising, colonial observances of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day.
Each afternoon from noon to 4:00 talented musician, R. P. Hale plays overtures, melodies, and Anglican Advent songs on a harpsichord and hammered dulcimer and local artisans Fred Lawson and Larry Leonard demonstrate their respective colonial trades and sell examples of their beautiful, handmade baskets and tinware in our new education center.
