More Kid Trips: American Village

Yesterday, 30 July, we attended the last "Red, White, and Blue Day" of the 2021 calendar at American Village in Montevallo, AL. Montevallo is just over an hour from our home. We really enjoy historical sites like Appomattox Courthouse, Greenwich Village, and Williamsburg, so we were a bit surprised that we had never visited a place so near.

We took Anna, her two kids, and Andrew with us. We saw every exhibit and asked as many questions as they could tolerate. The setting is revolutionary American in the late 1770's. The crowd was very small, so that made it so pleasant and allowed us to ask more questions than at busier times.

Anna and Andrew reminisced a bit about their memories of all the places we had hauled them to over the years. We were gratified that the two little ones, ages 8 and 6 seemed to really enjoy it too.

Admission was only $5 each with veterans free. If you haven't been, I'd recommend it. The program changes a bit with the seasons, so visit their www site to plan your trip.

Enjoy.
