Getting in the mood for tomorrow’s #ColdSuperMoon - the last #FullMoon of 2025! Happy #WalksOnWednesday & don’t forget to bundle up (at least if you are here in New England this week!)
Almost full moon seen through clouds high in a dark sky over a harbor. One small boat in middle distance has holiday colored lights decorating it.

This #WalksOnWednesday we are especially thankful for everyone who made our new roof & chimney repairs possible! Huge thanks to Aniceto Historical Restoration, Olde Mohawk Historic Preservation, Veterans Scaffolding, & Minuteman Building & Preservation, Inc for managing it all!

Happy #FallFoliageFriday from our #BartlettPear tree which coordinates well with our current Roof Replacement Seasonal “decor” of orange cones and scaffolding screening in a matching hue! 😉
Gray clapboarded 17th century house with partial scaffolding supporting work replacing the wooden shingles covering the roof. Orange cones block access to the work zone next to a pear tree with many orange leaves left on its branches.

HUGE thank you to all who made last night's "Revolutionary Concert" possible, including Crescendo Productions, our wonderful musicians, City Strings United, The Freedom Trail, Converse Hall, & the incomparable Regie Gibson. How often do you see a poem receive a standing ovation?!?
Person speaking from a stand on the stage of a grand 19th century church sanctuary/hall space to a crowd of people in the seats. Two screens behind them show the logo of the Paul Revere House Person in black dress clothes with a black cap on their head stands at a microphone on a stage in a sanctuary/hall space with an elaborate 19th century organ behind and above them as well as two screens with a projection of a man riding on a horse in 18th century clothing also on either side of the stage behind them. An adult plays a cello at the edge of a stage in a grand hall space while a few children stand in a line holding violas facing the audience and an adult directing them and another on the piano in the foreground below them. A man in 18th century style dress including a tricorn hat holds a modern microphone while speaking to an audience seated in a grand 19th hall space while jazz musicians sit at instruments between the camera and the speaker.

Happy #FutureFlowerFriday from our wonderful end-of-season clean up crew from Wisteria and Rose! That priority-mail box holds some exciting future flowers: our bulb order from Old House Gardens. We can’t wait to see how they come up next spring!! 🌷
Bright red leaves on a pear tree surrounded by low stone topped brick walls. A priority mail box holding plastic bags sits on one end of a wall and a person crouches down next to the tree while cutting back plants. Work happening in a brick courtyard to tidy up garden beds next to a gray wooden clapboarded 17th century house partially surrounded by scaffolding. View across a brick courtyard filled with morning light from a cloud streaked blue sky as people work in and look at raised garden beds, tidying them for fall.

Happy #WalksOnWednesday from Manchester, NH - current host city of the @NEMAnet annual conference for New England museums. One thing we love about attending conferences is getting to explore the local area; in this case, Veterans Memorial Park is across from the venue. #NEMA2025
Bright red and yellow leaved trees frame an open lawn on the other side of a fence with stones carved with “Veterans Memorial Park” and old fashioned metal light posts holding American flags Metal statue on stone base surrounded by a metal fence in a park. The figure is sitting on the ground wearing a helmet and holding an early 20th century style camera. Many bright colored trees in full fall foliage across a mostly green lawn. Complex memorial surrounded by an iron fence with four different metal figures in different civil war uniforms with a tall pillar in the center topped by another figure.

If you have been by the House in the last week, you will have seen scaffolding going up. Soon it will be time for the roofers and masons who will replace our roof and repoint the back chimney to do their parts.

We will remain open throughout the process!

Must be October still… we’re too busy on site to go out for a real #WalksOnWendesday! But at least we can still enjoy this beautiful Fall weather!

Happy #FlowerFriday from our gardens where the lavender (and the pollinators) are still going strong! Making us wonder, as this is the 252nd anniversary of Paul Revere and Rachel Walker’s wedding, did she carry a bouquet, and did it include lavender??
Close up of a lavender border in a raised garden bed in a brick courtyard with many visitors sitting and standing near a 17th century gray clapboarded wooden house. Close up view of thin silvery gray Lavender plant stems topped with clusters of tight, purple blossoms, one of which is being visited by a bumble bee.
