Fort Revere Park is a state-owned historic site and public recreation area situated on a small peninsula in the town of Hull, Massachusetts. The park occupies 6 acres (2.4 ha) on Telegraph Hill in Hull Village and houses the remains of two seacoast fortifications including former Fort Revere.[3]
Activities and amenities
[edit | edit source]The park includes a water tower with observation deck, a military history museum, and picnicking facilities and is open from sunrise until sunset.[3] The tower which was closed in 2012 due to structural issues[4] may be reopened following the provision a 2.2 million dollar fund during a town meeting in 2022.[5]
An additional $150,000 for the project was sought from the Hull Redevelopment Authority in 2024.[6]
Graffiti
[edit | edit source]The park has been the site of much graffiti. Tagging peaked in 2016 and 2017, and has decreased since then. In 2016, many local volunteers in Hull associated with the Fort Revere Park and Preservation Society and other Hull residents painted over much of the vandalism with white, spray-resistant paint.[7][8]
