Join Tom, Scott, and special guest-host, Wendy, as we journey to the new American Wing of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. We take a humerous look at a one-gallon silver beer stein by Paul Revere, and the beer-label portrait
of Samuel Adams.

Join us as we have the Patriot Pastor, Garret Lear, (back for another interview, this time on The Great Awakening, which started around 1730 and was one of the precipitating factors of The American Revolution. Pastors like Jonathan Edwards (Sinners In The Hands of an Angry God) and George Whitfield (supported by Benjamin Franklin) traveled around the colonies, bringing the people closer to God, and the colonies closer to each other, giving them a feeling of union for the very first time.

Join Tom, Scott, James, and his charming friend, Cinderella, as we journey to historic Gettysburg to discuss the bloodiest battle on American soil. After joking about the statue of  General Buford being waxed and blow-torched, 
we visit the newly restored Gettysburg Train station, talkng to locals about the Ground Hog Day type time warp of the town they live in: in Gettysburg
it's always early July of 1863!  Then we talk about the spooky Lincoln ghost
train, and Robert E. Lee's worst mistake of the war. Finally, we fast-forward to General Dwight D. Eisenhower who retired to Gettysburg as we chat with one of his neighbors, comparing Pickett's Charge up Cemetary Ridge to the D-Day invasion.

Join Tom and James as they journey back in time
to Old Sturbridge Village (http://www.osv.org/) a historical theme
park set in 1830s Jacksonian America, when most government was handled
at the town meeting level. It was a very self-sufficient time
when most everything was grown or made close to home. Men
lived their entire lives within twenty miles of their birthplace, the
farmer down the road might also be a cooper on his day off, and
and owning a horse was the equivalent of a Porsche 930 SE. 
As James and Tom wander the town, they find out what it meant to 
be a blacksmith, a cooper, what did kids do for fun back then,
what sheep are like, and what types of punishment were
inflicted when  they disobeyed the young school Mistress at the
one-room schoolhouse?

Join us as we interview The Patriot Pastor, Garret Lear:
http://www.thewelloflivingwater.com and discuss the various separatists that settled Seventeenth-Century New England. Every kid in America knows that in 1620 the Pilgrims stepped off The Mayflower at Plymouth Rock. Then men in black like Captain Miles Standish and William Bradford, clad in buckled hats and shoes sat down with the rest of the Pilgrims to a tasty First Thanksgiving with Squanto and friendly Indians (and not-so-friendly Chief Massasoit).

Grab your shawl and broomstick and fly up with Tom and Scott as we journey to haunted Salem, Massachusetts on All Hallow’s Eve. We start out in a windy Victorian graveyard at the tomb of George Peabody, the well-paid American servant of the Rothschilds’ Bank of England and mentor to J.P. Morgan. Then we head out along the harbor to The House of Seven Gables, mysterious home of the Nathaniel Hawthorne novel featured in an episode of Bewitched.

Along Salem Harbor we visit The Old Customs house and discuss the notorious Blue Light Federalists, Salem merchants who traded with the British all during The War of 1812! Later, we become on-the-scene “Ghostbusters,” at the spooky old Hawthorne Hotel, then march to Salem Green and St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, where the current priest tells how his predecessor was nearly hanged during the Salem Witch Trials, and how, later on, the congregation split into Tories and Patriots during The American Revolution.
