You know the story of the American Revolution - or do you? This brand new museum explores topics related to the American war in ways kids of all ages can understand and explore. Through things they can touch and activities they can participate in, as well plenty to read and see, this museum gives kids more than just a recounting of the war. It asks them what decisions they'd make, shows them what life was like then, brings their textbook learning into real life and puts a better dimension on it. Should someone in your crowd have interest in this subject or be studying it in school, the museum is a wonderful way to further their appreciation of it. It's not too long, leads you through in a way that makes sense and is quite moving as well.
