US History students took a beautiful autumn walk to the Museum of the American Revolution, passing many of Philadelphia’s historic landmarks. Our students impressed the museum guide with their ability to deconstruct the symbolism in the British coat of arms, their strong grasp of the Declaration of Independence, and their understanding of the significance of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. After the tour, the students visited several historic sites, including the location of the First Continental Congress, the spot where Thomas Paine wrote Common Sense, and the site where Alexander Hamilton lodged during his time in Philadelphia.
