Buying Paul Revere House Books and Gifts
Updated
Yes. The Paul Revere House website (paulreverehouse.org) links to a gift shop, and the site highlights a specific publication you can look for: Paul Revere's Ride: An Illustrated History, researched and illustrated by artist Cortney Skinner. According to the site, the book contains 13 historical illustrations of key moments of the Midnight Ride, narrated with Revere's own words, and it received a 2026 Award of Excellence from the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH).
What the site says you can find
The homepage presents the gift shop as a linked entry point rather than an on-page catalog, so the site itself doesn't list prices, inventory, or shipping terms. What it does confirm:
- A gift shop link is provided on the homepage.
- A featured publication: Paul Revere's Ride: An Illustrated History, published for the 250th anniversary and illustrated by Cortney Skinner.
- Award context: the Paul Revere Memorial Association/Paul Revere House received the 2026 AASLH Award of Excellence for that book.
The site does not state whether purchases happen on-site, online, or both, and it doesn't publish pricing or payment details. Treat the gift shop link as the starting point and check it directly for current availability.
If you want the book specifically
- Go to paulreverehouse.org.
- Follow the gift shop link from the homepage.
- Search or browse for Paul Revere's Ride: An Illustrated History.
- If it isn't listed there, check whether the shop carries it in person — the site notes that general visitors buy admission tickets at the admissions booth on arrival, so an on-site shop visit is plausible, but the site doesn't confirm shop-only access or hours separate from the museum.
Related free material worth knowing about
If your interest is Revere's legacy rather than a physical purchase, the site offers several no-cost options:
| Resource | What it is |
|---|---|
| "Imagining Paul Revere's Legacy in Poetry" | A recording and transcript of Regie Gibson's poem Dear Paul Revere or Forge, Shape, Shine!, written for a November 13, 2025 concert program |
| Revere House Radio | A podcast; the site links to the latest episode |
| Revere Express | A blog with posts on the Revere family and colonial Boston life, plus archives |
| Paul Revere's Life: Learning Resource | An educational resource on the site |
| 2026 Lowell Lecture Series | Free public lectures, viewable online or in person at Smith Commons (5th floor), Sargent Hall, Suffolk University, 120 Tremont Street |
The lecture series is explicitly free to the public, so it's a genuine zero-cost alternative if you're mainly after Revere-related content rather than merchandise.
Practical notes before you buy
- Hours, if you're visiting in person: the site lists the house as open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:15 PM.
- Groups: group visits require advanced reservations; individual visitors purchase self-guided tour tickets at the admissions booth on arrival.
- No pricing signals: the site provides no price information, so don't assume anything about cost or free shipping from the homepage alone.
For anything beyond the featured book — specific titles, prices, or shipping — the gift shop link is the only reliable next step, since the homepage doesn't enumerate the catalog.
