The Boston Tea Party Museum + the Freedom Trail

In the Boston Tea Party Museum each guest gets to "act out" the part of a participent and they get an individual card describing their character) Of course I got to be my g-g-g-g-g grandfather. The Freedom Trial as well brings you to many ironic places including Paul Revere's house, the Old North Church, the Boston Massacre sight and many more

Colonial Williamsburg

Ever dream of time travelling? or being a movie star? Here is your chance! Last year I went and enjoyed Charleton's Coffeeshop where they served delicious coffee and melted chocolate and I got to debate the "issues of our day" which was the Stamp Act and later the Partioning of Poland. You get to talk with people portraying characters from a wide variety of life patriots, loyalists and African Americans discussing the realities of the day both the good and the bad.

Great educational experience!

Mount Vernon

A must see to know the life George Washington knew. Again, amazing actors are on spot to give you a portrayal of all walks of life; the wealthy, the poor, patriots, loyalists and those who were enslaved.

A very well rounded and educational experience, as well as great views of the Potomac River.

Lexington Battlefield

Back to Boston! These were the first battles were a disorganized militia faced the strongest army in the world. While I usually go to more buildings, there is something surreal about battlefields and thinking about the history that happened there.

Museum of the American Revolution

I haven't been here yet! Its in Philadelphia and looks super interesting. Museums are great places to see the artifacts up close and gain a sense of wonder.
