No.271: Lexington & Concord Part 4 Orchard House - One Drawing Each Day #pen #drawing #sketch

I think I read Little Women several times.  With some reason, I remember the first time I read it.  It was in the waiting room of ENT doctor who had many books for the patients to read while they wait for their turn.  Anyway, this book is one of my memory of my childhood in a sense.  So it was quite impressive when I visited Orchard House.

The color of the tree at Paul Revere Capture Site in Minute Man National Historic Park was beautiful.  So this is the place where Paul Revere was captured during his midnight ride.

No.269: Lexington & Concord Part 2 Buckman Tavern - One Drawing Each Day #pen #sketch #drawing

Buckman Tavern, which was under renovation when we visited, was the gathering place of the Lexington militia.  The first shot from Captain Parker's army was the start of the American Revolutionary War.

No.268: Lexington & Concord Part 1 - One Drawing Each Day #pen #sketch #drawing

Lexington is not very far from Salem.  So the next day we visited Salem, we went there to track back the history of the independent war.

A kind of impressive when I saw Hancock-Clarke House because we also visited Paul Revere's house in Boston.

There is a statue of Minuteman in front of Buckman Tavern where I will post my drawing tomorrow.

No.267: Salem Witch Village - One Drawing Each Day #pen #drawing #sketch

Salem was full of witch-related museums, shops and memories.  Witch hunting is a sad history of the village.
