CANTON — The Paul Revere Heritage Site Board of Directors has established an Advisory Council to assist in developing a strategic plan for the Paul Revere Museum of Discovery & Innovation, which is set to open in September.
The Council’s first meeting was held on Feb. 6 and was attended by Panera Bread legal counsel Barry Barth; former Canton Select Board member and retired Haemonetics Vice President and Chief Legal Officer Lisa Lopez; Compass Realty Principal Melissa Mayer; retired Analog Devices Senior Vice President Marnie Seif; former U.S. IRS Commissioner Mark Everson; and former Massachusetts Governor and current Mintz Levin Principal William Weld.
Other Council members include Education Consultant and former Canton School Superintendent John D’Auria, Canton Public Library Executive Director Andrea Capone, editor and novelist Leslie Marshall, and Heritage Trust Board Member Stephen Schottenfeld.
As the current phase of the Paul Revere Heritage Site’s development culminates with the opening of the Paul Revere Museum of Discovery & Innovation, the Council will draw upon their unique experiences and expertise to help plan the Heritage Site’s future endeavors.
The museum, located in the Historic Barn, will feature an outdoor welcome area and three floors for visitors to explore the history of Paul Revere and Canton, hands-on STEM activities, augmented reality stations, and an area for special exhibits.
