The Spitfire......

Our class has started reading an exciting story about some young people who found themselves wrapped up in the Battle of Valcour Island in 1776.....  and these two silly classmates stumbled upon the treasures from these events at the Vermont Historical Museum in Montpelier recently.....pretty exciting to start making the connections and knowing that we've been in the company of the genuine artifacts from these men and their adventures.....all of which were an important part of the history of Vermont and the entire United States!
