Museums, Parks, and Historic Homes 
are Pearls along the W3R Chain

Latest Changes: 2009-07-21 - created /

The W3R is a 680-mile trail (with some subsidiary trails attached)
from Boston MA and Newport RI via Providence RI, Hartford CT,
White Plains NY, Trenton NJ, Philadelphia PA, Wilmington DE, Baltimore MD,
and Washington DC to Yorktown Virginia. We call the W3R a "string of pearls"
because along this route are many Revolutionary War sites, parks, and museums
which present a wider context and story of the American struggle for liberty
and independence -- a struggle that succeeded with significant help from France.

NOTE: Much of this is under construction as of 2009 August.

The American Revolution Center   The American Revolution Center (ARC) will establish the first national museum to commemorate the entire story of the American Revolution. The Museum will display its distinguished collection of objects, artifacts and manuscripts from the American Revolution era and will offer educational programming, lectures, symposia, and interactive learning for teachers, students, and the general public. www.americanrevolutioncenter.org

Data Collection in Progress  We have not yet collected sufficient information about the "pearls"
in several states to post a page at this time.
