Lexington Minuteman

The Lexington Minuteman is not actually a minuteman. He is actually part of the miltia.

Plymouth (Henry)

Plymouth was extremely fun.  All the actors did a fantastic job reinacting their role and answering questions.  After going outside the made up village of Plymouth, we visited the native americans which was reaaly cool to see how they lived.  Then, we actually got to see the actual Plymouth rock.  Very cool.

17th Century Blacksmith

This settler at Plimouth Plantation demonstrates early metalworking. Lots of work went into making just one large nail spike. He was also reworking a hinge. Amazing to think about the amount of labor involved in building a settlement from raw materials. -G

A wanpomong Native American.

we just visited the plimouth plantation. We visted the pilgrim village and walked and talk to the pilgrims. They were nice and spoke in 17th century english. some of the pilgrims were educated. Others were farmers/skilled workers.

The reason that wampanoag huts don't fill with smoke when a fire is lit inside is that there is a hole cut in the top of the hut. Since smoke is so warm, it is less dense than the air around it, causing it to rise up and out of the hole.

The blacksmith had an air pump next to the fire, the oxegyn heated up the fire to make the iron hot enough to bend. it was easy because metal is a good conductor of heat. ~sara harju (science)

The Granary

Named after an adjacent grain storage building, The Granary cemetery is the final resting place of many defining Americans. The site is rather unusual among the surrounding cityscape but serves as reminder of our foundations of our nation. -G

Boston (Henry)

Boston and D.C. will probably be my favorate towns on the trip.  Boston is fall of life, with its rich history, the old brick buildings, and the winding rivers.  I will definitely miss this town, which is always full of life.  All the wharfs were cool to see, but the best part was definitely the history.  It was amazing to see all the historic sites, from Paul Revere's cemetery to where the revolutionary began, at Lexington and Concord.
