Concord – September 2022
Finally I understand why Paul Revere made his midnight ride! It was extremely interesting to follow the Battle Field Road where the Revolutionary War began. The National Park Service has done a fantastic job on the Minute Man Park.
Salem – September 2022
We spent our second weekend in Massachusetts visiting Salem. The city has developed a booming tourism industry based on the witch trials that took place here in the 1690s. Dale and I focused on the history and architecture and enjoyed the day very much.
Plymouth – September 2022
We finished off our first weekend in Massachusetts by visiting Plymouth. It was pretty neat seeing all the historical sites we had only read about, or watched in educational videos.
Boston Freedom Trail – September 2022
The first weekend in Massachusetts was Labor Day weekend so we had extra time for sightseeing. We spent Saturday and Sunday in Boston walking the Freedom Trail. The Freedom Trail is a unique collection of museums, churches, meeting houses, burying grounds, parks, a ship, and historic markers that tell the story of the American Revolution and beyond.
