PATRIOTS' DAY is a civic holiday commemorating the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolutionary War.

It was a great day for kids to learn our proud American history.

We had a great time at the Patriot's Day Parade in Medford. The Band was hot, we ate at the Tavern where Paul Revere stopped on his famous ride.

 We watched a re- enactment of his ride, staring a beautiful white horse named "Brownie". Everyone celebrating our history received gourmet brownies from Mass Appeal International.

 DID YOU KNOW THAT:

On this day (April 19th) in 1866, thousands gather in Washington D.C to celebrate the Republican Party's abolition of slavery.
