Students Travel to Boston and Old Sturbridge Village

The upper elementary group has been studying the Colonial and Revolutionary periods, and the early 1800s. We took a three day trip and traveled back in time.

We started in Boston with a guided tour of important sites from the Revolutionary era. Here we are at Granary Burying Ground near Boston Common on Tremont Street, a cemetary for many notable Revolutionary-War era patriots.

At the site of the Boston Massacre.

Next we went to Old Sturbridge Village, a living history museum featuring early New England life from 1790 - 1840.
