The day was bright, the colors vivid, and wonderful company gathered at the Paul Revere Heritage Site to get a private "behind the scenes" tour of the Paul Revere Heritage Site at the former Plymouth Rubber factory complex. The members only tour was arranged by George Comeau, a member of the Paul Revere Heritage Advisory Commission. "We spent about an hour and a half touring the site and getting an up-close view of the ongoing adaptive reuse of the Joseph Warren Revere Barn and the Copper Rolling Mill," said Comeau. Also conducting the tour was James Roache a curator at the Histy with a deep knowledge of the site. Jeremy Comeau was on hand to help visitors a better understanding of the development agreement, timing for the project, and potential uses.

​More than twenty members attended the tour which was complete with cider and donuts. A perfect autumn day that brought members back to 1801 when Paul Revere came to Canton to begin the copper industry in America. The Canton Historical Society will be an important partner in the ongoing efforts to transform this hazardous site into a 9 acre park, cultural and historical attraction and one America's most historic sites tied to post-colonial industry. 

Take a look at the tour and some of the buildings in their present state.
