Old State House Museum - Boston

Old State House - Boston
Two 14 year old boys and I visited this museum. We spent a good deal of time here as we read about the events leading up to the colonies' Declaration of Independence from England. Although there aren't many bells and whistles the boys still enjoyed it, which means success to me! We worked our way through the museum together. As we read the exhibits (sometimes I would give a slightly condensed version) we would discuss the consequences or try to understand the feeling both sides were experiencing. I think this enhanced the visit and gave us greater understanding of just what went on--such as the taxes placed on the colonists or the reason behind the propaganda filled newspaper illustration and name of the Boston Massacre.
