==Background==
Revere purchased the house that bears his name in 1770, where he lived with his family, including 16 children.Boston landmark inscriptions; Paul Revere house He resided here when he set out on the famed "midnight ride" to Lexington and Concord.Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide p. 471, "PAUL REVERE'S HOUSE: Built in 1680, this wooden building is the oldest structure in all of Boston. In 1770 this home was bought by famed patriot Paul Revere. He dwelled here with his family (including his 16 children) until 1800. Paul Revere was living here when he made his famous midnight ride to Lexington and Concord to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock that Redcoats were en route to arrest them and seize the militia weaponry." This effort was in response to British occupation and threats to disarm the colonists living there.
On the night of April 18, 1775, British soldiers mobilized on Concord in an effort to carry out this initiative. Paul Revere instructed Robert Newman to ascend to the top of the Old North Church with two lanterns to alert fellow patriots, while he rode to warn them in person.Boston landmark inscriptions; Old North Church The following battles of Lexington and Concord started the Revolutionary War. In front of the church, a monument was placed to commemorate this event.
Revere was responsible for the craftsmanship of the Massachusetts State House's dome, originally constructed of wooden shingles and covered in smelted copper.Boston landmark inscriptions; New State HouseFallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide p. 471, "MASSACHUSETTS STATE HOUSE: The “new” state house was completed in 1798 to house the government of Massachusetts State. The land selected was originally John Hancock's cow pastures. The first dome was constructed of wooden shingles and covered in copper smelted by Paul Revere." He was rumored to have drank at the Shamrock Taphouse after its founding in 1787.Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide p. 505, "THE SHAMROCK TAPHOUSE: This historic bar and pool club on the edge of the Theater District is run by one of the smaller Raider gangs active in this area.

Revere was buried in the Old Granary burying ground alongside other Revolutionary figures such as John Hancock, Samuel Adams, and the victims of the Boston Massacre.Fallout 4 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide p. 472, "OLD GRANARY BURYING GROUND: This burial ground was established in 1660, making it the oldest surviving burial ground in Boston.
