Where to Brush by the Revolution

I haven’t visited any places specifically to learn about the War of Independence, but I have stumbled upon little reminders at a few places. Seeing little bits of the past brings history alive for me. I know I learned about the Revolutionary War in school, but now it’s so much easier to remember what I was supposed to learn.

Here is what I have found so far:

Massachusetts

• Salem, Where Were You in the Revolution?
• Founding Fathers in the Granary Burying Ground in Boston

New York

• Cold Spring, N.Y.: Geo. Washington Drank Here
• Mount Kisco: Watch with a Tourist’s Eyes
• Mount Kisco: Where We Should All Be on July 4th
• Mount Kisco: Visiting Mount Kisco’s Invisible Church
• North Salem: Dining Before the Revolution in North Salem
• Rhinebeck: Sunday Bloodies
• Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow: In Memory of the Revolution
• Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow: Where Were You during the Revolution?

Rhode Island

• Newport: Trinity Church, Where Were You in the Revolution?
