On a trip to Boston, Massachusetts, my mom, my sister, and I went to the Lexington Museum in Lexington, of course.\u00a0 In the opening room there was a beautiful glass window.\u00a0 In that same big room, there paintings, a big cabinet (I think it was from around the 1800\u2019s), and a collection of clocks, all different kinds of clocks.\u00a0 We went into one big room which was full of pictures, one for each National Park in the U.S.!\u00a0 The pictures were amazing, and they told about each national park, like what state it was in and when it was founded.<\/p>\n
After a quick snack, we went into the second section of the museum.\u00a0 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\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 coins were put in order, from 1st<\/sup> -50th<\/sup> state.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I also learned that almost all the U.S. presidents were freemasons.\u00a0 The next section was the museum of the founder\u2019s favorite things, which had almost everything you could think of, some things included paintings and American Revolution things.\u00a0 The last section was about the battles of Lexington and Concord and how the American Revolution began.<\/p>\n Before we left, we looked at old antiques, furniture, and a large collection of clocks.\u00a0 It was sort of scary, however because the freemason symbol was on most of the furniture.\u00a0 Even though it wasn\u2019t as good as the Peabody Museum, we learned a few things, and had fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On a trip to Boston, Massachusetts, my mom, my sister, and I went to the Lexington Museum in Lexington, of course.\u00a0 In the opening room there was a beautiful glass window.\u00a0 In that same big room, there paintings, a big cabinet (I think it was from around the 1800\u2019s), and a collection of clocks, all […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[30,31],"class_list":["post-167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-event","tag-massachusetts","tag-museums"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sabafamily.net\/joshua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sabafamily.net\/joshua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sabafamily.net\/joshua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sabafamily.net\/joshua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sabafamily.net\/joshua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=167"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/sabafamily.net\/joshua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":172,"href":"https:\/\/sabafamily.net\/joshua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167\/revisions\/172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sabafamily.net\/joshua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sabafamily.net\/joshua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sabafamily.net\/joshua\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
