Paul Rever

Our next adventure was at Plymouth Rock when the first settlers came or more famously pilgrims.  We went back to the 17'th century and saw how it was like for the Pilgrims and the Indians.  We saw how the pilgrims survived buy harvesting corn and trading with the Indians. The Indians were struggling too. The Pilgrims brought diseases to the Indians. Villages where wiped out and thousands died.  The homes were simple they had mud walls dirt floors and thatched roofs.






The next day we went to Boston and followed the Freedom Trail.  The Freedom Trail is a trail that goes by all the fames land marks like the spot of the Boston Massacre.  We also saw Kings Chapel and the Old North Church.  We herd the story how the British learned that there was ammunition in Lexington and Concord. They sent 800 men to take the ammunition. When they got there the got the locale militia a battle broke out and they where forced to retreat.  The British found out that a spy had signaled riders to go to Lexington to warn them of the British. The genus plane was from the rider Paul Revere.  He became a hero of our country.
