Photographic Tour of New England History

Recently, the Discerning History team led a historical tour through New England, with a special focus on the American Revolution. Here are a few highlights:

Masts of the Mayflower replica
The Old South Meeting House, into which 5000 people crammed in a meeting before the Boston Tea Party
The Old State House, in front of which British troops fired on civilians in the Boston Massacre
Paul Revere and the Old North Church
Springfield Armory, which for many years was the US military’s major weapons manufacturer
A cannon overlooks Saratoga Battlefield
