Girls, boys, grandparents, mums and dads all had a role to play in the American Revolution. Come participate in a play to learn how spinning yarn, tending a garden and feeding the chickens all helped to defend liberty. For a costume, make your very own hat. Just like Revolution; there is a role for everyone to play.

Meet at Minute Man Visitor Center and walk the short distance to Whittemore with a Park Ranger. For more information, call (978) 369 - 6993

Did You Know?
In the early years of the American Revolution, one way that colonial women aided the patriot cause was by refusing to purchase imported goods from Great Britain. Maintaining these non-importation agreements helped unite colonial resistance.
