We had a great day today. Weather was warm, with the sun peeking through from time to day. Sometimes it made me wonder if there was similar conditions back on April 19, 1775, when the events we were learning about all day were unfolding.
Part of the reason we enjoyed ourselves was because of all the efforts made by guides/rangers - well informed and often in period dress - to give us a human/oral perspective on the events of that day. There is nothing like "hearing" and "seeing" to make an experience like a site visit to a historical place take vivid shape.
The scale of the place allowed us to walk most of the venues, and there were plenty of interpretative signs ... which had a "cell phone" tour (978 224 4905) or recordings.
Shaelyn also shot a cell phone video of the park ranger (pictured above) demonstrating how to clean a musket - here is the You Tube link. She used iMovie to edit it.
Will try embedding below:
