He set out on his famous midnight ride on April 18, 1775. Immortalized in a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

His home is on the Freedom trail in Boston. I toured the freedom trail once in my life. His home is the only surviving 17th century structure in Boston still standing, built in 1680. It is small inside. It is situated close to Revere Mall, a stretch of sidewalk park like walkway.

He is buried in Old Granary burial ground in Boston. It is also on the Freedom trail, on Treemont st., just down the street a few blocks from the Statehouse and Boston Common.

Also buried in OG are Samuel Adams, John Hancock and Robert Treat Paine, all signer's of the Declaration of Independence.
I have visited the graves of 10 signers, these 3 inclusive.
Benjamin Franklin's parents are also buried there, also the woman that is known to be, or purported to be so, "Mother Goose" from the Nursery Rhyme fame.
The battle of Lexington, some historians argue, was not the 1st battle of the American Revolution, it was the battle of Point Pleasant, VA (now WV) in late 1774.
I also toured Minute Man National historical park in Concord. The North bridge is not the original, and was moved from it's original location, if memory serves me correctly.
But the "shot heard 'round the world" still echoes.
Here is a list of others buried in OG, including Crispus Attucks.
