The girls loved to look at the pictures of the people from that era. We saw the lanterns from the era that they would have used at the Old North Church. We watched the 30 minute video about Paul Revere&#8217;s ride and everything that happened. The girls really liked it. We walked out to the trails right around the museum and saw an example of a salt house.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.3dinosaurs.com\/images\/blog\/6-2012\/minutemannationalpark3.jpg\" alt=\"Minute Man National Historic Park\" \/><\/div>\n<p>We stopped at the spot where Paul Revere was captured.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.3dinosaurs.com\/images\/blog\/6-2012\/minutemannationalpark4.jpg\" alt=\"Minute Man National Historic Park\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Hartwell Tavern was a great stop for the girls. We saw a sleeping room, the tavern, cooking room and waiting room. Each room Rose and Amelia asked questions about something and a guide answered them.

This is something they could complete all through our trip. Rose and Amelia finished theirs. Mary had fun drawing on hers. It gave them something to look for while on the trip. The girls could answer questions about the trip as well. They had a bingo chart, connect the dots, and more. They finished the packet and got Junior Ranger Badges at the North Bridge Museum. They proudly displayed their badges after that.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.3dinosaurs.com\/images\/blog\/6-2012\/minutemannationalpark19.jpg\" alt=\"Minute Man National Historic Park\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.3dinosaurs.com\/images\/blog\/6-2012\/minutemannationalpark17.jpg\" alt=\"Minute Man National Historic Park\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.3dinosaurs.com\/images\/blog\/6-2012\/minutemannationalpark18.jpg\" alt=\"Minute Man National Historic Park\" \/><\/div>\n<p>This was a great learning experience about history for the girls.<\/p>\n<p>Cassie &#8211; 3Dinosaurs.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Name: Minute Man National Historic Park Location: Lexington &amp; Concord, Massachusetts Website: http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/mima\/index.htm Length of stay: 3 hours Minute Man National Historic Park is a on part of the battle road between Lexington and Concord.
