Times Square

This is the tourist trap of America, but it is so fun to see all the ads, lights, and pedestrians. 

In new york!. Looks like this will b fun

Concord Minuteman

This is a statue of a real minuteman. This statue can be found at the Northbridge.

We went on a bus from boston to new york. On the way, we stopped at plymoth rock and on we went. I like the bus a lot actually, i just lay down and enjoy the beautiful scenery outside. It feels cam and i have time to catch up with friends. I also liked when they turned on the movie the bus is fun.
Boston is a very interesting and important city and is very crucial in the American Revolution and American history in general.  We have seen many important places such as Lexington, Concord, and the scene of the Battle of the North Bridge.  We also have scene the north church, where there was a lantern that would show wether or not the british would come by land or by sea.  I would rather not live in Boston because of the temperature.  Although, it
does have a lot of historical significance.  - Jesse

Paul Revere's Grave

Paul Revere was famous mainly because of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem. This is his grave, it is right next to his wife.

Freedom Trail

A narrow red brick trail winds through downtown Boston linking historical points of interest. In the afternoon, our tour guide provided us the story and significance of many stopping points along Boston's Freedom Trail.  Over 200 years later and these sites are treasured remnants; embraced as part of our shared story of freedom. To see and experience them easily takes you back in time, despite the modern surroundings. The old cobblestones tells the generations of Americans who have also treaded in the same streets as those that defined our common ideals.  The Freedom Trail speaks for the Sons of Liberty, whose story should be listened by all Americans.   -G

This is plymouth rock. It is named after a city in England. It is famous because it was here when the pilgrams came to America on the Mayflower. The rock used to be a lot bigger but many people took pieces of it so its now caged up. -lindsey

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.
