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 feel a part of. Through things they can touch and activities they can participate in, as well as 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.
