We are fortunate to live in an area so rich with early American history. We walk where colonists walked. We see the actual houses in which they lived. And this weekend, we can experience what it might have been like to be a colonist during the events which lead to the Revolution.
Our class has been reading a short book about the causes of the American Revolution. In coming weeks, we will continue to learn more about the Revolution in Social Studies class as well. But this weekend presents an opportunity which only occurs once a year--the reenactment of the Boston Massacre which Paul Revere used so effectively to stir Patriot sentiments. The Bostonian Society will be presenting a reenactment of the massacre at 7pm this Saturday, March 5. Please visit their website to learn more (http://www.bostonhistory.org/?s=osh&p=calendar#upcoming). With Boston so close, I wanted to share this information with you and your family to take advantage of living history.
