A Revolution in Dorchester << back
At your site or at the Pierce House Museum, Dorchester, Mass.
This program provides students with a window into the Revolutionary War era
through the journal of Colonel Samuel Pierce. A resident of the Pierce House,
Colonel Samuel recorded everything from the details of daily life on his farm
to major events like the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, and the
fortification of Dorchester Heights. Students learn to analyze primary source
documents to learn more about the past, examine reproduction artifacts and
clothing, and work together to construct a Revolutionary War time line. At the
end of the program they have an opportunity to write with a quill pen.
