John P. Parker was born into slavery in Norfolk, Virginia, but became a freeman by 1845. He moved to Rowley, Ohio with its active abolitionist community and followed his trade as an iron master by day while rescuing fugitive slaves by night.

o find out about the roots of the American Revolution it is necessary to head around 35 kilometres (22 miles) out of Boston. Concord, Lincoln and Lexington are the places where in 1775 the colonists first took up arms to defend their liberty, and their actions led directly to the revolution. Although the sites where this took place are geographically spread out, they have been brought together as Minutemen National Historic Park. We visited in early January on a very cold and snowy day.

Summer visitors are offered the added experience of the interiors of the buildings with rangers in period dress. January, Plimoth, Colonists, Sturbridge, Period Dress, The Visitors, Concord
