Paul Revere Half Marathon

Happy #WalksOnWednesday! Are you the type of person who responds to nice spring days by wanting to run??

If so... have we got the race for you! It *is* only a few weeks away, so hopefully you've already been training! The (2nd) Paul Revere Half Marathon kicks off on April 11th: bit.ly/4sFoy2C

In honor of the 250th anniversary of the British Evacuation of Boston yesterday, we strolled down to the harbor for #WalksOnWednesday, pondering if Paul Revere, Jr. might have done the same to witness their departure!

While not *as* warm as earlier in the week, it was still a lovely day for a #WalksOnWednesday stroll while preparing for a revamped version of our Immigrant Walking Tour education program. #NorthEnd #SalemStreet #OldNorthChurch

If you are out on your own #WalksOnWednesday beware of falling snow! With these warm(er) temps the built up accumulation is starting to slide down in places!

It was really too brisk to take a long #WalksOnWednesday stroll today. But our new roof sure does look nice with a fresh coat of snow from last weekend! This is your reminder we are open Tuesday - Sunday at this time of year, come and see us! It’s the quietest time to visit. :)

Is winter (or almost winter…) actually the best time of year to visit Copps Hill Burial Ground? It might be! You definitely get the best view across the water to Charlestown! #WalksOnWednesday

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!

Stretch of an urban street lined with stone pavers and a brick lined sidewalk. In the middle a brick wall opens to reveal a gray wooden booth like structure. On the right is a two story gray clapboarded 17th century house and on the left is a long brick structure mostly out of the frame. A few people mill about on the sidewalk.

Kind of a gray day but we’re always happy to see this view. Turns out Fall is also a busy season for us, so not a very long stroll for #WalksOnWednesday this week… maybe next week!
