A little stop at Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox. -G

Freedom Trail- Henry

With the red bricks leading the way, we just saw many famous places.  It was fun to see Paul Revere's cemetery,  the Boston common, and the Old North Church.

This is the second largest library in the US and the world.
it is the library at harvard univesity. By miles

You can't park your car in Harvard yard. - Henry

When local Bostonians wanted everyone to have education, they made a very small college called Harvard.  Today, Harvard is one of the best colleges in the country. 

This church is called church court condo. It burned down in 1969. They didn't have the money to replace it but they could protect it. It basically didn't do anything after- lindsey haas

We're waiting in the lobby, ready to leave.

Lexington and Concord

"Let it begin here!" This morning we visited sites of the events on April 15, 1775 that changed the course of American history. A seemingly unintentional battle that intensified throughout this day contains the first casualties in the American Revolution.
After a presentation on the events at the Minuteman Museum, the story and sites visited all came together for us. From the first colonial casualties at the Lexington green and the first two fallen British Regulars to the mass of 4000 colonial militia that brought down an unwelcoming folley on the British retreat along the bay road, the experience here is rich and moving. Even for a teacher, the learning here is more memorable than chapters studied in a textbook.
Pictured are our group at the Lexington green, Minuteman Statue at the green, and our reinactment of the first British casualties at Old North Bridge. -G

This picture is me standing on north bridge. North bridge is the place where the colonists fired at the british and forced them to turn and run. After this the colonists chased the british all the way out to boston.

The north bridge was a small abttle tha should,not even have happened. The patriots were just going around to get some weapons, when some british wanted to cause trouble, so they killed 3 british soldiers. The rest ran away and calleed more soldiers to help later on.
