Additional Information &
Resource Links

This page  is a collection of additional resources for the American Revolution and Colonial America. For example, you will find photos of Colonial times, British and Patriot uniforms, typical houses, tools of the time, famous generals, battlefields, etc.

There are "primary source" documents to look at and use for your own research. The Library of Congress, for example, is an excellent source for many primary sources. It is the largest library in the world, and it traces "The American Experience," archiving pictures, original drafts, songs, drawings, speeches, etc. of events in American history. This is a rich resource for teachers and students.

Another good resource is the Minuteman National Historical Park in Lexington, MA. It is run by the U.S. National Park Service and commemorates the battles of Lexington and Concord, in April 1775, that began the Revolutionary War. On this site, you will find history and culture of the times, photos, multimedia, information about plants and animals of the area, and more.
