A Trip To The Lexington Museum

Posted by Josh on March 9, 2012 in Event |

On a trip to Boston, Massachusetts, my mom, my sister, and I went to the Lexington Museum in Lexington, of course.  In the opening room there was a beautiful glass window.  In that same big room, there paintings, a big cabinet (I think it was from around the 1800’s), and a collection of clocks, all different kinds of clocks.  We went into one big room which was full of pictures, one for each National Park in the U.S.!  The pictures were amazing, and they told about each national park, like what state it was in and when it was founded.

After a quick snack, we went into the second section of the museum.  The first part was a hallway in which there were big silver coins, one for each state, and each told when the state was admitted in to the Union, and the      coins were put in order, from 1st -50th state.  Then we went into a room that was all about Freemasonry, which dates back to Egyptian times, and how it ties into the roots of the United States.  I also learned that almost all the U.S. presidents were freemasons.  The next section was the museum of the founder’s favorite things, which had almost everything you could think of, some things included paintings and American Revolution things.  The last section was about the battles of Lexington and Concord and how the American Revolution began.

Before we left, we looked at old antiques, furniture, and a large collection of clocks.  It was sort of scary, however because the freemason symbol was on most of the furniture.  Even though it wasn’t as good as the Peabody Museum, we learned a few things, and had fun!

    Sounds like it is a very informative museum. The clocks and the coins representing each state. Glad you had the opportunity to go The National Park in U.S.
    I don’t remember taking dad and auntie.
