Paul Revere House

One Step Into History

For most people growing up in the Boston area, a school field trip to the Freedom Trail and Paul Revere’s House is a rite of passage. Thousands of others travel to the Commonwealth every year to take a step back into history: to learn about colorful characters like Paul Revere and, of course, his famous “Midnight Ride” which signaled the start of the American Revolution.

The One Step Forward Education Foundation is proud to continue its multi-year commitment to the Paul Revere Memorial Association. This support allows the Paul Revere House, a nationally significant historic site, to provide virtual, in-school, and on site education programs at low or no cost to school children in Boston, across the Commonwealth and around the country. These programs provide a comprehensive picture of the past while using Revere’s important legacy to also speak the names of those whose history has been forgotten or marginalized as they intersect with Revere’s life and the long history of our properties. The Association is currently developing a robust set of curriculum materials and resources to help teachers as they begin to consider to commemorating the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. These material will be available on-line and in print for use by Massachusetts schools as well as a larger national audience.

“We are honored by the Foundation’s long-term support of our programs. Their generosity is even more critical as we approach the American Revolution’s 250th anniversary and seek to tell a fully inclusive story to a deeply divided Nation. OSF’s appreciation for the value of history and the importance of making educational offerings available and relevant for youth of all backgrounds and situations supports an essential message that we hope others will emulate,” said Nina Zannieri, Executive Director, Paul Revere Memorial Association/Paul Revere House.

Museums like the Paul Revere House bring history to life. And if we are able to see where we have been, we will be able to find our way forward with greater purpose. For this, The One Step Forward Education Foundation celebrates the Paul Revere House Memorial Association.
