The Historic Revere House and Tavern is located right along Route 30 in Paradise, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It's a property with several old stone buildings with great signage out front, so you can't miss it when you're driving by. You can pull into the parking lot if you want to get out and walk around.
Revere House was built in 1790 and one of the oldest still-standing buildings in the area. From what I read online...the tavern itself closed for business in 2022 except for reserved banquets and events. I'm not sure if that has changed. The hotel which is part of the Best Western chain is still open for business.
On the side of this historic building is where you'll find the historical marker for your waymarking records. Here's the information from it.
This building prior to 1800 one of many taverns along this highway, April 1854 to about 1865 was owned by James Buchanan fifteenth President of the United States. The home of his brother and sister-in-law, the Reverend Edward Young and Eliza Foster Buchanan. She was the musicianly sister of Stephen Collins Foster whose immortal songs brought untold happiness into the world.
