23 Revisited) Minute Man National Historic Park

Visited: Monday, August 8, 2016

I really want to visit Minute Man sometime in April.  The visitor center is simple, but well done at any point, but I'd love to see a reenactment, and to walk along the battle road.  Of course, another April activity doesn't leave much time, so I'm not sure when or if it will happen, but it's definitely on the to-do list.

It was really nice to see the presentation - it's notably more than a simple movie - and to see the site of the farm where the leader at North Bridge lived, just up the hill from the bridge.

22 Revisited) Roger Williams National Memorial

Visited: Monday, August 8, 2016

Being in the area, and anxious to see more parks on the 100th anniversary of the NPS, we stopped by Roger Williams.  There wasn't a need - but Williams really was a remarkable individual, and hearing about what he did - and how he did it - again was quite enjoyable.  For such a small site, the memorial really is rather remarkable.

110) Blackstone River Valley National Historic Park

Visited: Monday, August 8, 2016

Well, kind of.  The National Historic Corridor spawned the NHP back in 2014, and things haven't progressed much since - we got our passport stamped, but there's currently not much else to do at the site, other than to say hi to Ranger Kevin.
