  There is no set script for this program. I will go in any direction the questions take us. This is what keeps it fresh and me on my toes.

  Students are asked to model clothing of the period and see how they feel. Each constume has a story to go with it.

  As apprentice, house servant, British Soldiers, Cavalry, Early American War, Late American Light Infantry Soldier (Deborah Sampson) and an Officer. We talk about what was expected of men, women and children during the course of the war.


Paul and Rachel

   Paul and his wife Rachel are going through a box Paul has found in the attic. Lets see what things they find in it. What stories do these items hold.

  Rachel is played by Joan Gatturna and together they tell about some of the events leading up to the start of the Revolution. Joan and David may be seen at the Paul Revere House on Fridays in the fall.


The Story of the Flags

   Not many people realize that at the time of the War in Boston we were not fighting for a new country. We were still negotiating for peace and representation with England. 16 months after Lexington and Concord is when we signed the Declaration of Independence.
