| This house was built in 1759 and was confiscated from loyalists during the revolutionary war; it housed George Washington and his staff in July 1775-April 1776 during the siege of Boston. It was also a home for Henry Longfellow, one of the most well-known American poets in the 19th century. |

| A national park site with the longest name! |
 |
| Beautiful gardens behind the house |
 |
| A highlight of the tour - Sam got to ring a historical door bell! |
 |
| Best part: getting sworn in as a junior ranger and getting his junior ranger badge! |
 |
| The house was a gathering place for poets and artists. Now visitors are welcome to use sketchbooks to draw or write poetry in the garden |
 |
| Yay! Sam earned his Junior Ranger badge! |
