George Comeau, member of the Paul Revere Heritage Commission was before the Board to provide an
update on the committee's progress. He explained that the Commission had some ideas on what to do
with the site. He presented the ideas to the Board of Selectmen. He explained that the Rolling Mill
could be converted into a museum with a children's area on the first floor and the second floor could
become an artisan space where artist could work and sell their artwork. He further explained that a
non-profit group would need to run the museum.
He noted that another idea was to convert the barn into a tap room or tavern with an upstairs event
space for meetings or weddings. This would also need to be managed by professionals, so it would be a
public/private space.
He explained that they were also considering asking for CPC funds to conduct an archeological dig of the
area around where Paul Revere's house was to find artifacts to put in the museum. They also already
had several artifacts that could be displayed.
The Board thanked Mr. Comeau for his presentation.
